Just got my replacement today.... Hopefully this turd is better than the last one... And great everything is all exposed now....
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Android.Ninja:
Are the buttons still very sensitive or did they fix that? Tell me what your opinion is about the replacement case. I haven't returned mine yet and want to know if the replacement is better or not.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

They actually feel a lot stiffer and less, what's the word.... Squishy? Than the last case I had.... Worst case if this battery fails me like the last one I'll just start using my blu studio energy again....

Try *#0228#

I really cannot believe this thread has gotten this long and no one has mentioned *#0228#. I do believe this tool is baked right into the stock firmware for this very reason. Maybe not for exactly for extended batteries, but I don't see what it could hurt to try it. It is a battery fuelguage calibration tool.

I just completed initial charge on my ZL 10000mah to 100% and ran the QuickStart battery fuel gauge tool. We will see what comes of the accuracy of the % meter. I realize it's not that accurate on any battery at any given time. It does its best to guess how much juice you have left. Hence the tool built in.

Give it a try. Beats having to pull battery all the time.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
That has been mentioned and is a joke lol.

BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] josh467:
Didn't see it mentioned.... Please don't attack. Ahhhhhrrrgh!

Seriously though ... What is the joke.

By the way, I tried it (*#0228#) again today at 65% and nothing changed, did a battery pull and % jumped to 82%. This battery will take me several days to kill.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
Not attacking you bro. That only will work with a stock battery. This is far from it. It was not made in a single cell format so it does not work as good with phone. Just use it when u need the power.

BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] josh467:
Ahh got ya.... I think the battery pull thing works best anyway, for getting a better reading on the % guage.

I was talking on the phone today with this battery case combo, and had to swap arms two times in 20 min conversation, this thing has some serious heft to it. I definitely won't be using it daily. But I would like to cycle it a few times. Gonna take weeks for that though!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
Doing battery pulls is gonna eventually break the rubber part of case and I bet ya they don't cover it.

BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] josh467:
OK..... Or it wont eventually break. I'm talking pulling battery maybe only a few hundred thousand times not millions. JEEZ!!!!!

Not too worried bout it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sefrcoko:
Yes agreed. Breaking the rubber case is quite unlikely to happen and not really a concern here either :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] shawnpuerto:
And even if it does break.... it's not like it's a really expensive replacement, ya know?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] josh467:
Word.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Eldartho:
Three and a half days off the charger with 9 hrs screen on time and having my Pebble connected the whole time...... Finally got a good battery! Currently at 7% and haven't even pulled the battery yet
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
Disappointed in this battery so far compared to my Note 2's ZL battery. Is anyone else having issues? I'm thinking about contacting ZL if life doesn't improve soon. In less than an hour, I was down to 92% just playing music from the SD card, screen off, WiFi on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
42% now...this is bs.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] josh467:
Have you cycled the battery yet? How many cycles.....
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] unibomber:
Both my zl batteries behave the same. Drop 10% within the first 10 mins. They're not like everyone else's. I can get maybe 1 and a half days at normal use.. I've put my oem back in until I can find a suitable replacement.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
Charged when I first got it for 12+ hours, it's been cycled 3 times now. Down to 35%.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] josh467:
Ouch.... Sounds like a problem. See how long it takes to actually die (turn itself off). Could just be your meter ain't just right. Try a battery pull too.

I couldn't kill mine in 2.5 days, on the first charge. Got tired of all the extra mass. Back to stock until I need the juice. Its really a mute point with the fast charge capability. But I just had to have it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sefrcoko:
moot, not mute ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
Yeah I'm gonna turn battery waster on after work and see what happens
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] josh467:
Cool. Keep us posted
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
Well battery waster has had the phone on 1% for almost an hour, so I guess the battery percentage isn't accurate. Phone is really hot, so I'm giving it a break.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] unibomber:
It could be like that for hours...just watch for screen burn in with those programs.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
Pulled the battery, turned it back on and it was at 19%. Been on for a couple minutes and has dropped to 17% already. Is there anything I can do to get the phone reading correctly?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] josh467:
That's what I figured. That guage is very misleading. I remember the days when the only way you could get a % guage was to root or jailbreak. Lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
I don't remember having much, if any, trouble with my Note 2 and ZL battery, so I'd just like to have the same experience with this monster of a battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] unibomber:
There is nothing that can be done to read the % properly as far as we know
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
I would send email and demand a new case.

BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S[/QUOTE]

Just got 2 new rubber cases and 1 hardshell inner and it is the same case. Buttons till sensative. And feel the same back is still sealed and camera is the same as original. I went thru Zerolemon distributor and they said no changes have or are planned to be done to these cases.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 2thvet:
Demand another one, my replacement case is drastically different. If it wasn't a deliberate change their manufacturing is definitely suspect with that kind of variance.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sefrcoko:
If anyone wants a way to increase screen brightness when the battery is below 5%, check out this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim

Seems to be working fine for me so far. Might come in handy with the ZL when the battery is "low" and I don't feel like pulling the battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Sonia233:
thanks for your recommendation:p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] shawnpuerto:
I think it intentionally will mis-read battery life remaining. I think that they will say they are at 1% when they are actually at 10%, that way there's no risk of shutting all the way off.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
I'm pretty disappointed with this battery...have to be honest. Seemed like the ZL battery in my old Note 2 performed 10x better. The battery % not reading correctly is also very annoying since I didn't have this issue with my Note 2.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Well this is the 2nd charge. Almost 5 days. Not bad.... The over one day is with the stock battery.

The open hole is the newer case changed by ZL because the heart rate monitor was hard to use with the 1st version. I got them to send me the older case and they are right. I plan to sand the plastic down a little but i dont use the sensor so no rush.

Zl could have still done a better job with the case though in my opinion. Not a difficult thing to do.

The rubber part is better on the new case so i am using the old plastic and new rubber lol

Battery is good but a lot of it has to do with custom rom set up. Stock stucks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
Must be nice getting good life from this battery, I'm definitely not.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] terpin32:
How did you get your battery % to stay right and not have to pull the battery like 10 times do it's right
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Android.Ninja:
If we can get the Note 4 rooted, ? I'll be glad to write a custom script that can be flashed in any custom recovery that would reflect the correct battery percentages in 1% increments. It would tell the system that a 10,000 mAh battery etc, is being used and it would constantly display the correct battery levels at all times. I wrote several scripts in the past to correct the displayed battery levels when using the ZeroLemon batteries and they always worked perfectly. ?

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
I was under the impression that it is from how the 3 cell battery is made. Not how the phone handles it. I have the hyperion 8000 and it reads perfect all the time. That battery is single cell.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] saltgrassspartan:
Let me know. I will test.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
What aggravates me is my Note 2 didn't have any issues telling me the correct percentage of that ZL battery, so why is this Note 4 having issues? I'm just really annoyed with the situation since I had such a good previous experience.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
Note 2 was not a tri cell battery so it will read correct issue free. Note4 is tri cell and will never read right.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ATOMICxTomato:
It seems that they stopped making em and ae re-releasing them in March with different colored cases, I wonder if they might fix the problems
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] googlemyahoo:
May be selling mine in that case...battery life is terrible regardless. Anyone want another?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sefrcoko:
Only if I can figure out how to fuse it to mine and make a "6-cell HexaLemon with TrueBrick technology" out of it. [emoji14]
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Android.Ninja:
You are correct sir. The single cell vs the dual and tri-cell are very different indeed especially when it comes to getting precise measurements in mAh etc. The Hyperion 8000 battery is indeed far superior in my opinion based on the simple fact that it's a single massive cell battery, which will always deliver exceptional performance and accuracy through its longevity. When it comes to the dual and tri-cell batteries you can get accurate and obtainable measurements however it does require the calculations to be made very accurately in the script. It has been done in the past, however not with this particular model battery for the Note 4. If we achieve root, I'll give it a go and see if we can get the readings accurate. If I can get some testers of course. ?

I charge externally so i swap when one is low. From the ZL to the stock. From there i dont touch it till the battery is low. Reads right all the time. Those are the times i have been getting. If you look a couple of pages back i posted my 1st charge times as well.

My phone sleeps well when not in use stays at 1% awake

So when you have your zl battery in it doesn't say its low even tho it isnt? Mine will say its like 75% and then ill pull the zl battery out for like 10 secs then it will go back to 98% or so
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samueldewit:
I would love that... Can you do that for the international version?

Thanks alot!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Android.Ninja:
Absolutely, but I'll need someone to test it out to make sure it's accurate.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JOSHSKORN:
I've had my ZeroLemon battery for a couple weeks, it seems to not last much longer, then I keep taking the battery out when it gets low and find the percentage keeps jumping up quite a bit and I've got more life left. My phone doesn't seem to "get it".

Anyway, yes it makes the phone heavier, and I went ahead and purchased an iMagnetic Dock from Amazon (see the link below). I was worried that it would fall off. Well, it doesn't. It came with three different magnets, one around one that you can just place between the phone and the case, freely, and two rectangular magnets that have 3M sticky tape on them. As an experiment, I put one of those magnets in between the phone and the case, it didn't hold. I just went ahead and stuck the magnet on the outside of the case, and it worked just fine. My phone hasn't fallen off, yet. I drive a minivan, so it's not the smoothest, not bumpiest ride. I suppose if you drove a jeep or pickup truck, things would be different.

Sad to see my UAG case go, but I may sell it. I am digging the bigger grip on my phone, just wish the ZeroLemon case had the same grip type as the UAG case. Hopefully, I'll one day get my battery calibrated correctly so my phone recognizes when it's drained correctly.

Bastex is sending me a replacement battery...looks like I'm not the only one having issues based on this thread, but maybe I'll get a better battery next go around.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
When you finish going thru the break in process post full pic of screenshots so we can see full usage. Maybe some better battery stats screenshots. Looking to see if you a heavy user or moderate.

@ BACARDILIMON:

I contacted zerolemon, and demanded that they replace my case with the one that you showed the picture of that had the protection around the heart rate sensor and flash etc. Zerolemon replied to me three days later informing me they no longer made that case anymore because the case had been what they called upgraded. My purchase was on Amazon through Bastewireless. Without asking me they forwarded my email over to Bastexwireless passing me off on them saying that they would handle the issue. I had already informed them in the prior email I sent that I already spoke with Bastexwireless and that they did not have the case in question. With that being said I resent my email back to zerolemon again requesting that they handle the situation accordingly. They have yet to respond.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JOSHSKORN:
Anyone know why these batteries are available again for "Pre-order" on Amazon? Is there a new version coming out or what?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BACARDILIMON:
I doubt it. They not gonna spend a ton of money to redo batteries.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Marty_Since87:
The inaccurate % readings are really dictating my purchase of this battery, I was really looking forward to purchasing this after I get my N4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JOSHSKORN:
Yeah I'm not really happy with my purchase. It seems like the battery will deplete faster than the stock battery, but when it gets down to 1%, it's on 1% for like 12 hours. I sent an E-mail to ZeroLemon this past Friday and I'm still waiting for a response. I've had the battery for a little over a month. So, I'm unfortunately outside the 30-day hassle free Amazon return policy, but I'm still well under the 180-day warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Marty_Since87:
Oh man, I was really hoping you said otherwise lol. Guess I'll either have to purchase a second battery or external usb battery charger thing whatever it's called lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JOSHSKORN:
There are plenty of people that have said otherwise, I might've just gotten a "lemon"...if you know what I'm saying. I might've screwed up when initially charging the thing, as well. I think you're suppose to let it almost die before you charge it, and I didn't do that. My phone was probably around the neighborhood of 20ish percent and I would charge it, only because I was concerned about going without a phone for any duration of time, unsure of as to when my battery would die. When I'd mentioned that my phone lasted for about 12 hours on 1%, that was probably the second time I'd worn it down to 1%, first time I'd let it completely die out. The time before that, I plugged it in at 1% and a few minutes later, it was at 43%. I'd also in previous weeks, unattached and reattached the battery. Some people have indicated that their battery percentages went up by doing this. I'm not sure if you're suppose to do this, either.

I actually like the feel of the battery but I also hate the fact that the buttons are so sensitive. I keep by phone in a tight bag and I imagine that the buttons keep getting pressed, which depletes the battery faster, as well. Maybe this is why I'm experiencing a faster discharge than the stock battery. I did read about a guy on Amazon who modded his case because of it and has since got it working to his liking. I think he took a blade and cut off 1/16 of an inch on the interior. Not sure if I'm willing to try that.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Marty_Since87:
Ok, I see now. I have the nerve to talk about not purchasing this battery due to the battery calibration when knowing that I've purchase the GS3 version lol. My thing is the price the S3 was cheaper, but then again the cases back then didn't look so nice and weren't built like an otter box. Most likely knowing how i am, I'm going to get this battery knowing how much I use my device and I don't have a problem with the phone looking like a brick at least I know it's protected and my phone will last me 2 days without charge. I've heard how sensitive the buttons were but I like to keep my phones on my hip with an holster, call me old school but I hate putting phones in my pocket.

I have to see if there's an wall charger for the ZL battery or has anyone here tried using an external wall battery charger?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] JOSHSKORN:
As I mentioned, I'd E-mailed ZeroLemon this past Friday. They just got back with me within the last couple hours. Apparently, I'd been doing it wrong. What a surprise!

I'm suppose to charge the battery with the phone OFF for 12 hours, and wear it down to 2%, for about 4-5 cycles. Here is a quote from the E-mail I received:

That said, I'd say go ahead and still buy the battery if you had luck w/ it in the past on a different phone. You have 180 days, anyway.

I'll say this, as well. As I'd mentioned, I have at least one gripe with the case, and that is the sensitivity of the buttons. I've never owned a ZeroLemon case/battery, so I imagine that they are all identical in this matter. Also, I dropped my phone flat on its back from about 2 feet. My phone reset. I'm sure this is because the battery isn't as secure as the stock battery is with the backing on it. After all, the stock backing is solid, the ZeroLemon backing, isn't. Not sure what kind of material it is.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] unibomber:
You can use the Samsung external charger. Just take the door off...sensation buttons can be clipped down. There is a video by an xda member on youtube.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Marty_Since87:
I've always wondered if I was charging my battery wrong back then and I guess I was too, lol. Thanks for posting this, I'll have to keep this permalinked.

As tight as that case looks I thought it would be more secure. Like you said I have 180 days but I have to purchase my Note 4 first, hopefully by next Friday I'll get mine and you'll see me necroposting lol.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Ok, thanks. Can you possibly link or pm me the video on clipping the buttons so I won't forget to search.
