but now you can use this bigger battery 2430 from bionic, all what you need to do is change battery electronic :) it is not so hard and that solve all problems with charging , recognition and % display.

below my photon with batery from mogo g and electronic from old batter :) maybe it is not so big diffrence beacuse stock battery EB41 is 1735mAh and now i have 2010mAh but if you have 2430mAh its worth to do it :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] szegi2:
Not worth it. It makes too much damage to the phone.

With removable batteries I can now change my battery to a fully charged one, even if i am on a plane/train/car or even in the middle of the desert :).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xxjomamaxx:
you guys need to understand something

If you take the pcb from a 3.7/4.2v battery and install it on a 3.8/4.35v battery your basically defeating the point of using the 3.8v battery, the charging IC from the 3.7v pcb isnt going to fully charge the 3.8v battery, it doesn't know your using a new battery, Li-Ion batteries are charged by voltage driven monitoring, not current charging so the pcb from a 3.7v is set to stop the charge @ 4.2v.

The cell will work fine with a normal 4.2v pcb board but you will lose approximately 7-10% of capacity so whats the point of swapping in a 3.8v if your gonna use the 3.7v pcb board?

Waste of time.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] avicorn:
So this is it, no point of changing battery?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mikeshox:
im waiting some review about this battery, seems better than golden battery
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] avicorn:
Golden bat a known fraud, so it's not hard to be better. I've meant more about swap to battery with bigger dimensions, like topic starter did.

Does anyone tried Lenmar EB41 CLZ623M? It's Voltage: 3.8 V Capacity: 1925 mAh. Seems more archivable. But it's 3.8, so I'm not sure if it will charge in a phone.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cyri2:
Does any one if the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx Battery EB40 will fit? This battery is rated at 3200 mAh thus would give a big boost.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] avicorn:
The only one I've found with specs is Lenmar Replacement Battery for Motorola EB40 and it is 3.68 x 2.25 x 0.25 (inches). Compare this to 2.75 x 1.88 x 0.13 of Lenmar Replacement Battery for Motorola EB41. EB40 is MUCH bigger in any demention.

But Lenmar kind a have extended capability, so such units could be bigger when original. If there is a site with size of original battaries, it would help a lot.

I use LG battery BL-54SG (LG F320 - LG G2 korean ver) - 2610mah

width, length is good to photon q,

but thicker than stock battery (almost 1mm?)

can't close back cover..

it works well
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gtmaster303:
I would try removing the battery sticker and sand the inside of the back cover. Should be just enough to give you clearance you need
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] avicorn:
Does it charges in a phone? 2610 mAh is a huge improvement compared to original 1735 mAh, phone should last for ~30% longer, do you feel it?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] no3id:
yes

charge 0 to 100% ok

battery life.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] avicorn:
Hi there, so how is it after two months? Did you managed to fit it inside back cover? And one last question: where did you bought it? Bat quality seems to be really unstable this days.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] no3id:
battery status is good

about 3~40% battery time increased

i use Double-sided tape to paste back cover

battery bought from LG official service center
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hockeymikey:
You wouldn't happen to know of any other potential batteries that could be used besides this LG one?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
Yes, battery lifetime definitely has been increased, but the showed status seems to be wrong. At first it sometimes stayed at some percentages for hours. Now the percentage is going down "smoothly". But when arriving at 1% it may stay there for hours. Looking into the detailed app infos of Android 6 it looks like it still assumes a capacity of ~1800mAh for the battery and so the time remaining is often wrong.

I can live with that. Better it is still running when it shows 1% left then before with my damaged battery - it showed 50-60% left and just switched off suddenly.

Mine seems to hold just ok without glue or tape. Not all of this small "hooks" are holding it into place, but it's ok.

I bought mine from eBay.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
I've been playing with bms-batterydata tables for a while, also trying to adapt the LG bms values for the BL-59JH I'm using (from lg kernel https://github.com/r3pwn/vs870-kern...1v_130306/arch/arm/mach-msm/bms-batterydata.c), but I couldn't get anything useful* in the end. As it has been very time consuming (full charge plus discharge for a single test takes a while), I've given up on it.

Please note that the battery ageing data are stored by battery UID in /pds/batt_health, so if you use a controller board from an old eb41 with a new LG battery cell on the same phone where that original eb41 has been used, you should better delete the batt data for that UID to force a fresh start.

With my BL-59JH, the higher cell capacity is clearly there. Regarding battery metering - when using the original eb41 bms tables, I get smooth percentage estimate down to 30%. Then it goes down rather fast to later stay at 1% for a while. It shuts down approximately at the point where the smooth percentage graph would end if there wasn't the downhill race after reaching the 30%. I'm fine with that, as I like to charge my battery when it goes near the 30% (the knee on the typical li-on discharge graph) anyway. And when I'm out in the wild with no chance to charge, I don't mind running at 1% :).

* useful = consistent estimates of the remaining battery capacity after reaching the li-on discharge graph knee

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hello- I am wondering if you can help me, yestyerday I had to reinstall the stock firmware for my note 3 on NC4 (thanks to Beantown's 106) after having great difficulty with the Biggins Rom ("unfortunately messagres has stopped, along with contacts and occasional android has stopped), I was unable to use the phone obviously let alone be able to explore this really cool rom. While trying to reset the phone, remove sache, dalvik, data etc. it did get to a point where the phone was stuck on the red Verizon Splash screen all the while Safestrap was still intact and by the end of the night after finding the stock firmware I was able to restore the phone to factory. The only issiue that I think would have caused these is finding and checking the boxes already set in 'root explorer' as opposed to what all the other apps are set to or possibly partitioning the new sd card but I doubt would cause an issue. I installed the rom the night before last and tried to fix the issue yesterday but was unable to which took most of last night to fix before I got it back up and running with the stock firmware. I would like to know how to get this rom back on without issues. Any advice would be great.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
What firmware are you on? Were you OTA KK or MJE? (I know you said NC4, but was it OTA or did you use beans' .tar file?)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hi no OTA, I am on the KK NC4, which is how it came- it's an insurance replacement that I just received last week.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
Ok, so what they did was sent you a replacement with the KK OTA already on it.

Coming from NC4

1. Root with TowelRoot HERE[URL="https://towelroot.com/"]

[/URL]2. Install Busy Box from Play Store -Open App and Install

3. Install SuperSU- Open App and Install

4. Install SafeStrap 3.75 B04 HERE -Open App and Install

5. Reboot into SafeStrap, Wipe (Factory Reset) Stock Slot

6. Install BigginsRom

7. Reboot into Download Mode FROM WITHIN SAFESTRAP

8. Odin (AP slot) Updated NC2 Firmware for NC4 OTA users HERE

9. Reboot

----DONE----

**SOME USERS HAVE HAD TO DL SUPERSU AND FLASH THE ZIP AFTER FLASHING THEIR ROM***

Only IF you run into any issues after running SuperSU after installing in Step #3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
To properly run most KK roms you need to flash the NC2 kernel. Instructions and download can be found here. You will only need to flash the kernel. If you are following the step by step instructions you can substitute any supported rom for the stock rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Thank you for the instructions- I will give it a go, but first verizon instructed me to take the phone to best buy to see if there's a problem with data since it somehow ate up 96% of my 2 gbs yesterday while I had problems- of course I didn't tell them I was rooted- dofood you know if there's a way to tell if the nc4 was an OTA or it was installed that way or does it even matter?

Thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
It doesn't matter since you can use TowelRoot to get root access. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hi thanks for the info- how would you suggest I save the stock rom if I need to go back to it or do I need to reinstall the firmware like I did last night?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
If you are already rooted you don't need to change anything with you rom. Just flash the NC2 kernel found in the link from my previous post using Odin. The kernel is not the bootloader img, You are already on the NC4 bootloader and can not go back, but flashing the NC2 kernel will leave you with the so-called Unified firmware (NC2/NC4). This is what is needed for most KK roms.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Ok but is there a way to save the stock rom? when I root again and have any issue and need to go back to stock or I will need to DL the firmware again since I will have had the unified firmware on. Also since I like the stock rom besides the Samsung lag, I saw a rom that is based on stock but I think alot better from what I read and is deodexed, do you know what that means?

Thanks you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
Assuming you have Safestrap installed as it is the only way to flash a custom rom on retail Note 3, all you need to do is boot into Safestrap and make a backup. It will be stored on your external SD card and if you want to revert back to it simply wipe the stock rom slot in Safestrap then restore your backup. As you are on NC4 you won't be able to use a rom slot in Safestrap other than the stock slot, and you always want to wipe system, dalvik, cache, and data before installing any new rom.

Odex/Deodex is how the system stores and reads apps. Standard out of the box is usually (perhaps always) odex. This method breaks the apps into 2 parts. It allows for faster loading and searching of the system. Deodex keeps the apps as one entity. This means that the initial loading of the system will take longer but in the end we get easier customization/tweaking. Xposed framework needs a Deodex rom to run (I believe). I'm fairly sure most developers that make custom roms deodex their roms. (My understanding of Odex/Deodex may be flawed but this is a basic explanation, for more info you can always Google, or search these forums).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hi thanks and yes I'll be googling more before doing. Do you have any idea while the phone was stuck on the verizon splash screen yet SS still worked, why the phone was sucking up huge amounts of data while on the Higgins Rom while it had issues and while trying to reinstall stock firmware?

Thanks again! I can't seem to find the "Thanks" button?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
The splash screen freeze could have been caused by the rom not being compatible with the NC4 kernel combined with possibly wiping system via safestrap. Safestrap is not wiped when you wipe the system it remains installed separately (this is what allows us to wipe and install.

The data drain may also be linked to the incompatibility, however I would be unable to answer that as I have never experienced such an issue nor have I read about it on any forums.

Once you are set up with the proper firmware, I would suggest doing a factory reset before flashing any further roms. You may need to reroot and reinstall busybox and safestrap afterwards but it will reset any residual system alterations that may be left from the previous biggins problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cconcepts:
I made a full backup of my stock nc4 rom before I flashed biggins rom and flashed nc2 kernel. I restored my stock rom to see if it would run on the nc2 kernel and it froze at the red Verizon splash screen. The nc4 kernel will need to be reflashed after going back to stock. However, biggins rom is basically perfect so I have no real intentions on going back anytime soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Thanks or that important point, I'm back up and running with the unified firmware on Biggins- very cool but the battery seems to lack a bit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
hi thanks alot for all your guidance- I'm finnaly back on with biggins but the batterry seems a little less in performance than stock. Any idea as to how to improve this or know of a rom that is has better battery stats? I reall like the Biggins though
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
First, you are welcome. Second, did you flash in Stock Slot or a ROM Slot?

Generally, performance on any ROM for battery life is measured after the ROM has time to "settle". It was about 48 hours after I flashed Biggins that I noticed my battery life increase significantly. I can't say that for other ROMS, as I have only been on Biggins, but it seems to be the general consensus all in all.

I do know that if you flashed on a ROM Slot, that for some reason battery consumption is drastic. Again, some have reported otherwise, but in general that seems a culprit to some.

However you flashed the ROM, 3 things will help

1) Let the ROM settle. After 48 hours if you see that the battery is still suckus, then switch to alternate (Stock Slot or whichever)

2) Check your Wakelocks. There is an app in the playstore that you can dl that will measure what is running in the background and then you can shut it down using Greenify

3) Always Greenify :)

Greenify is a lifesaver to some, and added with a ROM that already has ridiculous battery life (that was meant in a good way ;) ) then you can push about 2 days on one full charge.

Hopefully this helps, if not, then you know where to find me :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Great I'm at the 48 hr. mark so maybe I'll see some improvement- I will check out Geenify, I recently heard about and am using Clean Master- have you checked it out?... seems like a good utility widget. Yes I did the stock slot since I was told before installing Baja which actually had really good battewry performace but I just wasnt crazy about the rom.

I dont see a thanks button?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
Great, you should see some improvement soon enough :good: Yes I have heard about CM, I use it on a regular basis :)

I dl'd in on the phone but haven't used it yet- I'm going to dl in here too ( wifi note 2014 10.1)- ya so last night roughly 8 or soon after I had 38% the night before 15% around same time so its getting better battery. The other day I saw carbon rom, have you seen that? you can minimize apps like pages on windows while running multiples but one sight said our note 3 isnt compatable yet a couple other carriers versions are. Another site said it is but I can't find it- it seems like the rom of all roms…
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
Fantastic about the battery. I forgot to mention, but should be obvious, we all use the phone differently so depending on use the battery life could fluctuate.... but def good about your battery results.

I have heard of it because of my friends that use different variants and etc... it all depends on the developer and what they put into the ROM. For our phone, Deuce has pretty much nailed it, ya know?

Just saw on his thread that he has Gunther's help for the next update. You are in for something really special, his work is equally as good as Cerj's. This ROM is about to go to the next level! ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Just about to check the info on the DB rom, the updates are always fun… so are you using the OF battery w/ quicklaunch or the 3minit one? -it seems it's only appearance. I've installed the v6 volume boost w/SS but its nowhere to be found on the phone. Anyway I'm liking the transparent version. Have you tried any other roms?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
The update hasn't dropped yet, but should be any day now. I'm using the OG battery with quicklaunch. I liked the 3minit one @ first, but I prefer the blue battery that Deuce made. The volume booster won't have an icon or anything. It just increases the volume, but be careful, I dl'd it but it got distorted with my alarm settings. No, I haven't tried another ROM, just biggins. There is another dark themed ROM about to drop, so keeping an eye out on it.

Hey hows it going? so did you flash the v8? I saw it but didnt know if I will have to do a factory reset but may have to anyway. Have you ever had the error 'Unfortunately, the process com.adroid.phone has stopped'? I get it whenever I make a call then turn my bluetooth on then the error and the call is lost. I've reset apps, cleared cache, dalvik but no go. Do you know if theres a way to save or backup the way in which you have your phome specifically set up? It is such a pain in the ass and time sink after a factory reset...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
It goes! lol.... yeah, I flashed V8 when it dropped, runs pretty smooth. I have received that error before, yes. I haven't found a way to stop it from happening. I have done "fix permissions" in SafeStrap and that seems to get rid of it when it does happen. I don't use Bluetooth, so I really can't say for sure how to remedy that issue. I know if you go to a thread for the ROM, and type in the search what problem you have there might be someone that has an answer, if its asked or what not.

To save a back up, I use "backup" in SafeStrap. It's been a life saver for all, and I recommend doing it at least once every 2 weeks. I do that only because I download and apply so much that I don't ever want to lose what I have put time into, ya know? When you do the back up you can choose either internal or sd memory card. I have done both and have not had any issues. I also use Titanium Back up to make zip files of all the apps that I download, so that if I ever have to do a factory reset, or download newer releases or ROMS, I can just flash the zip after the ROM and all my apps will be there :good:

Anyway, check out the latest version and if you feel comfortable enough with what I said about backing up the ROM, you should also check out deltaROM. It's another dark themed ROM that I use as well and it doesn't disappoint! :good::D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Cool- can I flash the v8 rom from safestrap like the other rom downloads without having a complete wipeout having to set up everything again or backup with es and go through the process- if I can flash w/out it changing anything then I'm on it right away- thx again... oh did more poking and the com.android.phone error may be the sim card- I have another sim in my backup fone I might try, if you learn anything else let me know thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
I would strongly recommend a clean flash, someone tried that and it broke some of the mods in the ROM. I personally would recommend backing up and wiping and then flashing. Trust me, it will save you a headache. Good to know about the SIM card issue, let me know if that helps and I will keep an eye out on it as well. :cool:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Cool so what you mean by a clean flash is dl to my windows pc and install with Odin after a wipe? I think I did originally intall Biggins with SS, but I'm not sure I may have done it with Odin but I know that I installed the 3 minit battery and the transparencies etc. all that with SS and even switched around with them (I like that almost completely transparent one). So the V8 is not like an update to V7, it's basically a totally different rom per say a within itself? I'm going to find out the deal with the SIM card with Verizon because I did read certain SIM cards pertain to certain regions in the country with their 4G which doesn't make sense to me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
No, just wipe your Stock Slot and flash V8 after it's done and you'll be set. Odin is if you need to add additional firmware, or modems... Since you had V7 on your phone already, you don't need Odin :o
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Nice, I havent had much time to play with the phone but will put it on today, will I be able to apply the updates like the transparency and battery mods?- when I look back at the downloads it says v7+ each mod, so this rom only comes one way?
