Got a mophie juice pack a couple of weeks ago. Has a 2300mha battery and is supposed to double my battery life, however will not fully recharge my phone from say about 30 percent. It will get it up to about 80 to 90 or so. This is with the phone on and low to moderate use. Curious what others are experiencing and if this is about right or if I need me a new one.

its not supposed to FULLY recharge your phone. if your phone is turned off while it charges, then yeah you'll get more juice out of it. I've been using the mophie case on my gs3 and havent had any problems.. when i'm at work at my battery is at 30% or so and i flip on my mophie case, it will get me up to about 80 or 90% with time.. which is enough to get me through work till i get home i'll also add that i use my phone at work alot lol
I use the 1500mah Powerskin and it goes about 30 to 50-60, so you are about right. Remember that you aren't just using the extra mah - it has to be converted up to 5v (with losses) to feed your charge port, then your phone's charging circuitry has additional losses. Probably 20-30% of the extra juice is wasted, no way to avoid that.

Mine is about the same. I have a bad habit in using the phone while it's charging by the juice pack. At least I can an make it through a full work day with heavy use. Shorter when tethering.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
It's because when the juice pack is plugged in, the phone is in usb charge mode, not a/c mode. If you are rooted, and your rom supports usb fast charge, you should be good to go.

I enabled fast charge and made a big difference as far as charge speed, but got pretty warm. Not sure its too good for the phone or the case so probably going to just use it normally.

Isn't it just a USB power plug ?
If so it will be surelly faster than charging from your PC but I wouldn't pay 17 dollars for it. I mean, it's identical to the s2 orignal charger only with a removable usb cabble right ?
That looks like the charger for my old Captivate. My SGS2 charger does not look like that. OEM chargers should be faster than generic chargers because Samsung hardware doesn't allow the generic ones to charge as fast.
Yeah you are right but why they have called it a Rapid charger ????

It looks like a scam!
if you have your samsung original charger a custom kernel you might want to change the USB voltage settings while charging.
The problem with fast charging it is because it reduce the battery life. Its cool to charge the phone fully in no time but in short-mid term it is not something you should do
doesnt harm the phone or battery???

Not on short term.
But if you do that everyday the battery will suffer and will loose effective power.
Also if you force an higher usb port voltage on the phone make sure you dont use a computer usb port as electrical issues may occurs.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
The sgs2 doesn't even use the oem at full capacity (1000Mah) it only chages @ 450 Mah because of samsung's software limiting the input. Use a custom kernel such as siyah to enable faster charging @ 650 Mah which speeds up the charging to about 2-3hrs

mate the best cure for slow charging times is a desktop charger and a spare battery you can even take it to the next level and get
2x 2000mah batteries
1x genuine samsung desktop battery charger/stand
thats what i do and its so nice not having to wait the 3+ hours it takes from empty to max , i abuse the phone , then just swap batterys and put the empty one on charge
seriously samsung gave us a removeable battery and a micro sd slot something thats getting rare these days in high end phones so grab a spare battery and a memory card and make the most of them lmao
edit
i spent approx £50 on batterys and a charger from amazon and its the best thing i done i literally never have to have my phone plugged in at all

Agree, I had a powerskin for my Skyrocket and it was garbage... took it back after a few days. Turned out the Nexus extended battery worked for the Skyrocket which has useful. Unfortunatly it doesn't work for the S3.

Also, how exactly do those work as far as charging? Do you just leave the phone in it, hook up the charger, and it charges both the phone's battery and the external battery at the same time?
So I ordered a 1800mah battery for the epic. It fit and everything but literally while charging it and on browser on just data, the battery life decreases while on the charger. It also almost died at school today. On my 1500mah, I ended a 7 hour day with about 30-40%. On the 1800mah, I got down to 20 and below. If kind of makes me mad that I bought a bigger battery and out sucks. And what is a good 1800mah battery for the epic?

Not always the charger.... When I'm on 4G and trying to use Google Maps even plugged in I drain my battery. If I shut GMaps down, it starts charging as per normal.
It was really frustrating when I first got the phone, as I was in the process of moving to Denver and knew where nothing was. Now, at least, I know the area well enough to just have it on at the start or end of trip.
The Anker samsung battery (search amazon for it .. ~$10 and 1800mah) has shown good results for me.

it is normal for the phone to consume more power than the charging pack can output....... you might not of had this problem because the 1500ma battery uses less energy than a 1800mah battery(hence the extra life..) if you charge with a USB 1A charger it should charge the new battery better. also, turn of 3g and watch your battery charge about 2times faster than with it on.

None that I am aware of, I have never owned a gold one but there are posts around both for and against them... some say they are just a 2100 mAh with a new sticker....
I have Seidio's extended battery, along with the case for it. Outrageously expensive, but worth every penny if only because the case has saved my phone from destruction at least 6-8 times when I've dropped it onto hard floors.
It (or my phone) definitely has "moods", though... I've managed to burn through the entire extended battery in as few as 3-4 hours (!!!) a few times. If I don't semi-charge it on my desk at work, it'll usually be down to 15-30% by the time I go home, and dangerously low if it gets another 30-60 minutes of constant use somewhere while eating dinner. I wish somebody besides Seidio made a battery with the compatible dimensions... I wouldn't use a second one often enough to justify throwing down another $70, but I'd love to pick up a second one that's good enough to go for another 3-4 hours.
In case anybody's wondering, my awful battery life is mostly because I use Graffiti, and have to lock the CPU to 100% whenever the screen is on to get acceptable accuracy. It seems like every new generation of Android phones has a worse sample rate than the last, and gets more and more aggressive about trying to slow down the CPU whenever there's a soft keyboard open. (Seriously... my creaky, ancient Sprint Hero OC'ed to 712MHz had a butter-smooth high sample rate, and I could get almost 100% accuracy writing blind with my thumb. My S3 seems to have MAYBE half the sample rate, and Graffiti input when the CPU is allowed to scale down freely and some ***** app is doing realtime Ajax character-by-character queries is almost impossible.

So I have my S3 Telus 4.3 and I've noticed that it's been experiencing a serious battery drain ever since android 4.1.2. And when I use the phone while it's on charge the battery starts to decrease. I have to keep it on charge for hours without using it until it finally charges to 100%. And when I use it afterwards it instantly goes from 100% to 76% in 10 minutes.
Anyone?

I had the problem of my phone being charging and my battery draining. Switching my micro USB cable fixed it.
If that doesn't help, try clearing cache and/or wiping data. Maybe your battery is almost dead. Try all the variables. In the end the S3 will have around 3 hours of screen on time, those are the facts.
I was unhappy with my battery life so I bought the ZeroLemon 7000mah battery from Amazon. Highly recommend.

I had the problem of my phone being charging and my battery draining. Switching my micro USB cable fixed it.
If that doesn't help, try clearing cache and/or wiping data. Maybe your battery is almost dead. Try all the variables. In the end the S3 will have around 3 hours of screen on time, those are the facts.
I was unhappy with my battery life so I bought the ZeroLemon 7000mah battery from Amazon. Highly recommend.

Switching to micro-usb?
No, switching cables, so if you have a extra micro USB cable (the one you use to charge your phone) try charging your phone with that instead of the one you're using right now.
