MY Ext 4300 battery acting like a charging case - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

My 4300mah battery I fully charged it over note.. but when it was done said full at 88%
Now I'm noticing when it drops a few % if u put phone to sleep or come back the displayed% will jump back up a few notches
Its almost acting like a rechargeable case
Could this be cause my phone can't read this battery's mah Max %

It's possible, but not likely, or others would've mentioned it by now.. The battery may just not be reporting correctly. My old phone had/has similar issues with a 3rd party battery. No matter what it won't charge 86%. But I've noticed I still do get the expected life from a full charge, much more actually! So though it's annoying I just deal with it. Old phone so not a big deal anymore. But after a year and a half, it's still going strong!
I have also noticed sometimes it'll drain kinda quick at the bottom, but once it gets to 3%, it'll stay there for nearly a whole day sometimes!
This is on a MyTouch 3G Slide.

Yea that's interesting ....it still shows
Normal 1% drain constsntly but stays put when it gets lower...
Its only a knock off brand not like a seidio which is better.
I noticed my first charge and drain it was draining fast so I started to think is this junk...but toward low charge its like the batt stayed hybrenated.
Its gotta be better than the 2100 mah stock... even if it is no name brand 4300mah.
I just hope it cycles and settles with improvement cause now I lost the option for a case by choosing a ext batt which I'm not happy about no case

Never understood why people want a brick on the back of their phone. I'm using the Anker 2200 now. Works fine.

I have one (ZeroLemon 7000 mAh) and I couldn't see myself using it everyday, you might as well be a brick in your pocket. But extended batteries are nice for vacation or if you travel a lot.
To the OP, I've always wondered why extended batteries seem to "charge" themselves when the phone isn't in use for a certain period of time, the ZeroLemon battery I have always does it and I've had it it on 3% and last me a whole day. I guess the phone has a problem calculating and displaying the correct percentage.

No that is terrible advice. Charge cycling Li-Ion batteries destroy them, not increase battery life.
@OP: The only thing you need to do is make sure you let the phone charge for 7-8 hours after you put in the battery. After that, no conditioning is required. However, if at a later date you notice your Vibrant is not properly reading the battery (i.e. it goes from 100->90 really quickly, but goes from 90->80 more slowly, etc.), you will need to calibrate the battery to your device by completely draining the battery and charging it. Take note that this charge cycle will not increase battery life -- it will only make your Vibrant read the battery properly.
BTW Would it be possible for you to take picture of how much fatter the battery makes your phone?
Where did you buy this battery from? Looking to get my hands on a good one.

Vibrant BiONYX 3.1/ brama
I got it from ebay and it fits perfect. If you have patience you can order through the seller below. Im in north florida and it took almost 3wks to get to me. Theres also another seller from US but he wants $30 for the exact same battery. He claims that the batteries from china are crap, he is lying. This is the seller he orders them from.

Greatest investment ever. I might be able to take pictures tomorrow. Currently my battery is at 40% and have been running for 1day 3hr 17mins as of this post. And an app im using batteryleft from Eugenes r11 stats time left is 11hrs.
Under battery use through the settings. Displays at 60%, Voice calls at 40%, Cell Stand by is at 20% Phone idle at 5%, and I made a mistake leaving wifi on all day.
Size is really a personal preference. I adds the needed weight to the phone, and makes it extremely easy to hold. The Vibrant with original cover/battery would slip out of my hands when it was naked and the rubberize battery cover solves that.
I use my phone for music in my car and at work through default music app/slacker/pandora and now I can lay my phone on its back and the speaker is not blocked.
Ive had all my friends, coworkers etc look/hold it and they all like the way it feels and that it fits perfectly in your hand. All in all, im someone who is always playing with my phone and now I getting a little more then double the battery life.
My usually day:
20+ 5min phone calls
Playing angry birds throughout the day
20+emails
15-20txt
web surfing/tapatalk/xda app
watch some youtube
listen to music at work/car 3-4hrs
wasnt connected by wifi was on for most of the day
My Main reason for getting the extended battery-3g on ALLDAY
extended battery+r11 great battery life.
pictures, sorry there from my girls iphone4. Bic lighter for size comparison. Most people who consider phones bricks feel like moto razr to me. Not for folks that wear skinny jeans lol. BUt as big as it looks its truly not that bad. I will probably buy an extended battery with every future phone I buy. I was one who always thought ext batteries were ugly but now I am a believer.
If you dont have the patience, this is the same battery but always us sellers have to make a profit. He orders from guy above. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130448289815&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT

Just picked up a Platinum Series - Extended Life Lithium-Polymer Battery for HTC EVO

I just got this from bestbuy waiting to get a full charge in it before i actually test it. But it does make the phone alot thicker but it might be something i will have to get used to, another thing is my outer box case doesn't fit over it (i kinda figured that before I opened the packaging ) But i will let you know how good it really is.
Well i kinda forgot about this topic. So now im gonna finish typing it.
I have had this for about a month or two and it has been great. it can last me anywhere from a full day nonstop usage to 2-3 days light to moderate usage. It has been great and does what is says so im a happy camper.
It's a good battery. I have one and it lasts me about 3 days before I need to recharge. They are Seidio rebranded batteries, and I also like how they're Lithium Polymer instead of the cheap Li-Ion ones on ebay.
They are great. I am going on 40 hours without a charge and I still have about 40% left. This is with moderate/heavy use.
They are awesome I got mine off ebay for 20 bucks and would definitely do it again!

ok no flaming just a simple question, ive read that you shouldnt run the battery dead till it shuts off the phone... anybody know what is better to do?.. my battery didnt come with instructions, but from what ive read is charge phone and run till dead, recharge and repeat 6 times, someone please confirm
From personal experience (and LOTS of work with laptops), both Lithium Ion and Lithium Poly like the "goldilocks" zone. Draining them to ZERO will instantly kill a LI battery. But ALL LI and LY batteries AND devices have special circuitry to prevent this, but repeatedly draining them to what your device classifies as zero will shorten its life dramatically.
My brother does this and he needs a new battery every six months.
However, leaving it plugged in can be just as bad. When a LI is fully charged it actually generates pressure in the battery. Again, there is circuitry to help prevent this, but constant over charging (or close to) can cause the cell to "pop".
In general, when you first get a LI or LP battery, should should charge it for about 12 hours UNINTERRUPTED the first time (think of it like stretching before a workout). Other than that, charge it when it's low, and take it off when it is done.
Leaving it plugged in from time to time so that it is ready isn't too bad, just don't leave it on all the time, or you again, COULD pop the cell.
Most manufactures recommend a complete drain and 12 hour re-charge every 6 months (again, just like stretching out).
Happy surfing!

there is definitely a big difference and makes the phone weigh more but you forget it is there after a while (like with i first got the evo i thought it was HUGE and would be a struggle to carry it around).

[Q] battery issue

I have a 3500 battery (Ebay) in my rooted epic the battery stats reads 100 percent but when i unplug it it shuts the phone off i know about the battery stats erase in CWM 5 i cleared it but it still saying 100% and i know its not 100 because it has done this b4 when i 1st recived the battery i did break the charge cycle because i use my phone alot for work and plugged and unplugged it alot could that have ruined it
used to work great now its giving me hell
Drain it if possible then Charge it over night and see if it still does it. If not pop in the old battery boot up and then pop in the new one this should update the phone to read the actual percentage.

Try this for kicks and see what happens..wipe battery stats again.. make sure battery is fully charged. Wipe battery stats again, let battery get low, and wipe stats again, then fully charge it. If this doesn't work, u really do have a bad battery.

If the phone goes off as soon as it is unplugged the battery cannot provide enough current to keep it on....bad battery. No battery stat clearing in the world is going to magically provide more current.

There are good and bad 3500 mAh batteries. If you sliced them open, more often then not the cheaper ones are two 1200 mAh batteries so you are probably gaining 30-50% more life if it is a good one. The better ones are two 1500 mAh batteries. If he has gone through the wiping of battery stats and recalibration then it is more than likely not a good set of batteries. The cheaper batteries are not always a good deal.

Hey guys. Im just wan to know how much battery use other phones with screen on and using 4g data conection (no wifi). Mines use 1% per 3 minutes of constantly use. A remember b4 it used 1% per 5-6 minutes. Can someone help me knowing others results ro compare?

I can generally browse for "a few" hours on 4G without needing to plug in. I don't pay much attention to specifics as unlike the Note 1, the Note 2 isn't very limiting for me. The Note 1 was awful for needing a micro-reactor in your pocket almost. Do you keep your battery over 90% charge often? It's possible it's getting weaker as it gets older. You can order a replacement battery cheap enough and see. They also usually come with an external charger so you could just swap batteries and go. I do that on long road trips.
Is true the replacement battery maybe hurt the phone bcse they have diferent voltage? I heard that from some guy in yhe shop.

If you get a real Samsung battery I'd think not. Make sure the voltage matches. I can't remember, is the S3 3.7V or 3.8V? I got an Anker extended battery and it improved the battery life immensely.

It depends on many different factors not just screen on and 4g on. 1% per 3 minutes equates to 300 minutes or 5 hours. I have drained my battery completely in 4 +/- hours time. It's completely normal as I have other phones to compare it with. I have another note 2, 2 galaxy s3, iPhone 4s,5s that I have tested against and they provide worse battery life in same situation.
Not all these phones are mine. I just swap it with family/friend members to test out for a day or two.
For batteries I recommend Anker. I have 2 Ankers for my note 2 and 3 Ankers for my galaxy s3.

Since I use my N2 as my laptop replacement and am on it all day, battery life was a problem for me from the beginning. I found Battery Drain Analyzer helpful. I kept it running for a couple of months and was able to determine which apps consume the most power (widgets, by far). But, after having spent hours trying different underclocking configurations without much success as far as saving a lot of power, I ended up buying three extra OEM batteries. It's really awesome to not have to worry about it. I just keep them in my pocket and swap them out as needed. It's not a very technologically advanced solution, but, it sure is effective. I also picked up this, and, obviously, now, I am never without power. Also, I use this Charger for the spares. It takes a long time to charge the batteries, but charges them fully to 100%, whereas, charging the battery in the phone doesn't seem to work as well.

Think that was the original case they reviewed? They changed it a little bit (better fit) before the release a week or two ago. They are also coming out with a rugged case in about a month.

New battery, insane battery performance

I've gone through a number of batteries and long story short, they've all sucked. Even the original stock battery was crap. I've been using this battery for almost 4 weeks and I've been getting absolutely stellar battery life. I'm well beyond that initial conditioning phase.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2450mAH-EB6..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4ac2c14f8b
2450mah. I'm usually skeptical of higher mah ratings as you can only cram so much juice into a given form factor, but I'm left wondering if lion chemistry has really improved this much. Ever so slightly thicker than a standard stock battery (same size as the 2100mah andida if anyone else had one), but fits the stock battery back w/ a bit of manipulation. E4GT is stock GB27 (w/ root). I'll get more screenshots now that I'm really paying attention to performance.
I'm getting consistent 4hours+ of screen on time while actively using the phone. 2 google accounts, sync enabled, no kernel tricks, 'auto' screen brightness (not lowest), haven't even disabled useless apps, etc.
Sample size will soon be 2; i've ordered a 2nd battery for my wife's phone so I'll compare once it gets here.
tldr: 4+, could probably eek out 5 hours of active screen on phone use w/ a standard size (non-ugly hump) battery.
Nice I can barely get 1 hour of battery life from mine.

I'm wondering this too.
im also wondering if this is legit...not a bad investment for $7 but it wouldnt even be here for another month. I just got an epic 4g for $50 and am super satisfied with it (coming from the beast Note 2)...I'm actually surprised with its performance all around EXCEPT for the battery life. I do realize the battery and phone are close to 2 years old which is why im looking into a new battery.....
but really, selling my note 2 for 400 and picking this up for 50 is prob the best investment I ever made, saving my upgrade for "the next next big thing" :good:

Yes, you still use the same stock back the phone came with, its just tighter.
The only question in my mind is longevity, as I have purchased some knockoff batteries (sold as Samsung OEM with almost identical labeling as the original battery), that started to degrade within a month and now are useless except for short term emergencies.
Most people on these forums swear by Anker batteries, which I've never tried, but I still have Ferocity Mobile batteries (bought on ebay but no longer sold) which are still going strong. They just dont hold a candle to these 2450s,so they are my backup batteries now (have two Epic Touch phones in the family).
I will report back periodically on how they are performing over time.

Would you or OP be able to do a test on those 2450 batteries that OP has? Do you have the same type of battery as OP? If so could you please run a streaming netflix 3g test on it and see how long it runs till it drains from 100 to zero. I'm a HEAVY user on my phone and that would be the closest way to gauge it to my usage even though i don't stream video all day lol. Thank you
Yes, same battery as the OP.
Link the test and I'll try it.

Well there's really no test link. I meant if you could just drain it under heavy usage and post a picture of the Battery usage and then the screen on time. Thanks
I'm not a Netflix guy.
Bottom line: Its cheap and gets to you fairly quick considering China, so why not take a shot if you need a battery?

You're right and it does fit in the original battery cover which is awesome. For the conditioning what did you do? Did you do a full discharge then recharge 6 times?
Bought two

Figured it was worth a shot since it is so cheap.Any recommendations for methods or software to calibrate? Just charge/discharge cycles as listed above or something else?

Callibratimg doesn't do anything useful. It doesn't hurt either but it is pointless.

How about calibrating a bigger battery? I have the QCell 4100 and I was told to calibrate it everytime I pull it off the charger at 100%.

Callibratimg does nothing for the battery. It clears the battery stats. That's it. A reboot does the same thing.
