Battery issues - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys so I recently purchased 2 anker batteries and they've been alright but I'm having this problem where phone shuts off outta no where and when I have to take off battery and put in again, thing is when it turns back on I've lost 50% of battery energy. I already calibrated battery and clean flashed rom and same issue. Also what's the best way to condition new batterys as soon as you get them?

I have the Motorola one. My battery life has close to doubled. Plus I was able to use my original battery door with it. Which means I am able to use the same case. Although not everyone has had the same experience with the oem battery door working.

Many people have reported problems with their screen from using the stock door with the extended battery so just be careful doing so. Hopefully it works good for you! I also have the motor extended battery and my battery life has significantly increased by several hours a day.

I really like my Seidio 2600, I just couldn't get by on the stock battery. The replacement door does not really affect anything for me either.

I'm gonna have to risk that...I'm in an Otterbox. What exactly is the model# of the Moto extended battery?

I really don't see why anybody is even bothering with the stock battery door with the EB??? The "proper" door is 1mm. Lol, come on. 1mm for 20 hours between charges is well worth it in my opinion.

I have the Moto extended battery and love it. I bought it before a business trip thinking I'd swap over mid flight to the stock battery when I ran it down. I havent swapped back to the stock battery since. I unplug from the charger at 6:30a on day 1. I usually plug back into the charger around 10p on day 2 unless we're going out in which case I'll charge the phone around 5p on day 2.

i can confirm accounts of this happening to people, just saying
The extended battery is great only adds a little bit of thickness with new door. I tried using stock door but it caused problems with my screen.

I just received the otterbox defender(vzw rugged) and the moto eb today. Using the eb door with the otterbox just fine. But because I have to mod everything, I did shave just a little off the inside of the otterbox. Fits like a glove. Oh and the eb is the best. Love it.

Just got an extended battery, any tips?

I seen somewhere tips for calibrating an extended battery, I was wondering if I could get some advice. Also I'm running Synergy RC2 GOD MODE.

-Charge battery to 100%
-In recovery, wipe battery stats
-Lets phone die [so that it automatically turns off]
-Charge back to 100%, use as normal
Try juice defender also

I had the extended for awhile i couldn't get over the bulk of it .
Have a hero and a TP2 so i just keep 2 charged batterys at a time and switch
I found the cheap ones work just as-well as the 60 dollar ones at best buy aslong as you condition them
I only paid $13 for this battery. I haven't even seen it's full potential yet. I'm a bit worried cause now I cannot use a case for it..but gives me more reason to try going red with it. Anyway, I was switching between 3 batteries and it wore out
My back. It was convenient yet annoying. So these batteries just need some conditioning?

I got mine for 8 dollars on Amazon lasted 2 days all i would do is calibrate at 100% completely drain then repeat for the first few charge cycles.
Worked like a charm just couldn't get over the girth
Hmm I see. I can get used to it, I just cannot have it in my pocket at work anymore. And its no longer protected so it is risky but I needed a change since I'm not getting the 3D right now lol

[Q] Battery Question

I use my phone a LOT. Everyday, I end up charging it from around 30% to fully charged about two or three times a day.
How is this going to affect the life of my battery? How long should I expect my battery to last at this rate? I've never given it much thought before, as I've always had a removable battery, making replacement cheap and easy, but the LGOG just has to be different...
Dude stop being so OCD. A battery is good for about 2 years and by then who cares if the battery goes bad.

Thanks. I didn't consider it being OCD. As I said, I've never really thought of it before, and I was just curious. Thanks again!

(Q) Zerolemon not charging fully.

Hey guys, just got my lemon 2 days ago and its going great. I got about a 2 days on the first charge. I plugged it in at 2% like the instructions say and it started charging. I woke up this morning and it said it is fully charged and I took it off and as soon as I did, it went to 59% and has been draining really fast. Within 30 min its down to 52. What's going on?

Just got two with the charger - for me ane my gf. Both had charge over 50% before charging as instructed. If 2% - something's wrong.
Sounds like a bad battery problem, once bought a cheap BB battery and it did the same thing.

Why don't to try another battery and check whether the problem is in your phone or the in the battery. Because I'm also using a ZL and everything is okay from my side.

lol, you meant to reply to @damnyouwaffles not me. What did you do in the end? Did you contact Zerolemon about the battery?

Battery drain issue

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.

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.
