Just bought the Verizon extended battery. I recall a while ago reading that when you get a different size battery from the stock one you need to so something in order for the phone to recognize the larger battery so that it will properly display the percentage left and what not. Just checking if this is true and if so could someone let me know how to do it. I'd like to get the most out of this battery as right now I have to charge my phone way too often. Any other battery tips would be awesome too. Thanks
And my bad about the typo in the subject title

I would like to know this as well. I just put an extended battery in my GN and it seems to be draining awfully fast.

i think you'd be good to just give it a few days & charge cycles and it'll even out its keel.
I just charged it to 100 before using it and have been on my phone pretty consistently all day granted just on wifi I can already tell leaps and bounds over the other. 10 hrs on the battery and I'm still at 52% I would a had to charge my last one by now which is weird because the extended isn't that much bigger...
Rolled out from my Gnex Prime
I have had my old battery from launch day a couple years ago. I recently stated seeing a big decline in how long the batter would stay charged and as of last week it would only hold a charge for about a half hour to and hour and thats with synergy rls1 and the only things I have running are my email accounts. No apps or anything else(apps are all on my Galaxy 10.1 tab), basically this phone is just a tether for my tab. If I turn on the 4/4G it drains even quicker. So I bought a new battery and its a 2000 instead of a 1500. Now my battery is holding a better charge but it is still draining really fast. I turned on my tether app this morning and it drained more than 50 percent of the battery in about an hour. What can I do to figure out the culprit? What apps and what should I be looking for. I tried to search about this topic and had so many threads come up and am just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I have check the batter usage and nothing is sticking out at me. I have also made sure that my phone is "sleeping" when its suppose to so no wake lock issues. Any help would be much appreciated.
the 2000mAh battery you bought is probably a little less powerful as your degraded stock battery. unfortunately, thats just how most 3rd party batteries are. I'm assuming the culprit is the old battery/incompetant 3rd party battery. I suggest buying 2x1700 Anker batteries + battery charger, there are tons of ppl on these forums that would vouche them to be on par with the stock and you get two of them which you can swap while you tether and charge the dead one at the same time

oh and i forgot to mention. give new batteries a couple good cycles to perform at their best
I have mine Note for 8 months and am currently hungry for a new battery. Looking for extended battery below 30 bucks and found mpj, anyone use this?? I am not sure whether my stock losing power because of my heavy usage. I hardly use it and I am gaming online with it, browse webs , phone calls and text, and also a lot of YouTube.
I have a "galilio sx-i9220" 3250mAh accu and its not much better than the original...
I recommend anker accu!
Basically these slim extended battery is regular battery. MPJ is ok, at least as good as stock.
IMO always get original batteries if you want your Note to be slim. I got a golden 3030mAh battery from pixinf.com and it is a bit worse than the 2500mAh original from Sammy. But if you want better battery life always go for the humongous5000mAh or more batteries with the extra humongous back cover from trusted eBay sellers only . A friend of mine got almost 5 days out of a 5000mAh one (with no wifi/3G usage) :laugh:
Hi Guys,
After searching for Samsung made 2000 mAh extended battery in Bangalore for few days, I gave up and settled with something else. I thought I will buy Anker batteries but couldnt find any good deal.
Eventually I ended up buying 3500 mAh extended battery + backpanel from this link - http://www.ebay.in/itm/SAMSUNG-GALA...Mobile_Accessories&hash=item19ecfd2713&_uhb=1
This is a Chinese battery and I did not expect it to be full 3500 mAh but anything above 2500 mAh was fine with me. The prices mentioned at the above link are varying bigtime - I bought it in 1039 INR, 2 days back it was 888 and now its INR 1200.
The bulky backpanel is a must to house this extended battery because of which-
1) Phone becomes quite heavy
2) S2 Lost its beauty, slimness(figure ) and sex appeal
3) Feels Bulky in pocket
But thankfully it does what its meant for. Here are the battery life stats so far-
First charge took almost 6 hours to reach 100% but I let it charge for 10-11 hours.
~37 hours backup
-3 hours 38 mins SOT
- 30-40% screen brightness
Wifi on for ~15 hours
was at 53% after 26 hours, and the drop after that was pretty fast.
2nd charge - took close to 4.5 hours on usb charging
~ 27 hours
- 30-40% screen brightness
~3 hours SOT
-with heavy usage, backing up apps/data, restoring/installing lots of apps, backing up rom and flashing rom thrice
- noticed that the drop after 50% status is very fast. (5-7 % per hour)
3rd charge - took approx 5.5 hours to charge fully (with me installing multiple apps and stuff)
- 43 hours backup
- 30-40% screen brightness
- ~2.5 hrs SOT
- wifi on for ~20 hours, ~40 mins calls, flashing kernels and normal messaging.
Baseline - Apart from the compromise I made on looks of the phone, I am really happy with the battery backup. I could get that kinda backup time only while keeping the phone in standby and very less SOT. I found that the upper part of phone heats up (as usual when involved with heavy activities) but the battery was totally cool. So my fears of it exploding are subsiding with time
Few pics of the phone, battery and backpanel are attached.
P.S. Will be updating the battery stats for next few charges.
I am thinking of buying a similar battery but i dont know because the s2 will become heavier and will lose its slim shape.
Anyway, does the extended battery make big difference to your battery life?

With my 1650 mAh battery I could get 3+ hours SOT but then it wont last for 24 hours. With the new battery I am getting 1.5+ times more battery life than it was previously. The imp thing would be to see for how long i get it (as it is Chinese) :laugh:
and yeah, with this battery - bye bye slimness and lightness for S2.

Massive! I was tempted too, but I'll resort to some external battery pack; I can't stand seeing the sII with this big fat back

I was a lil demotivated too before buying it but now this big-assed-s2 feels like a new phone to me. To top that, battery backup is pretty much better than the stock. Its like atleast 1.5-2 times more than stock which matters to me a lot.
I am happy with it :cyclops:
Ever since last week, my battery has been misrepresenting the % of battery. For example, last week, I had fully charged my phone in the morning and it said 100%. Right after I pulled out the charger, it said it was at 60% battery. When I used my phone, it dropped 1-2% every minute. I thought it was an app or something that was doing this, so I installed Battery Doctor. It didn't really make a difference.
I'm posting this, because right now it's worse than ever. It said that I had 100% battery and then right after I pulled out the charger, it said it was at 56% battery. After I closed the screen, it said 100% battery again. Then it started to drop %'s every few seconds.
Some information that might be handy:
- I've had the S3 for 1 1/2 years now
- Was rooted, after update, root was removed and I haven't bothered
-Attached to the pictures are two pictures of my battery today. I haven't done anything but screenshot twice.
Also if it is a battery problem, what type of battery should I get? I'm thinking of buying an Anker 4400 mAh Extended battery (http://www.amazon.ca/Extended-GT-I9300-T-Mobile-Cellular-EB-L1G6LLU/dp/B009GVG8FA).

Chances are that your battery is dying. I don't really know which one is best to get as replacement though.
You should also take a look at what is using your battery, there might be more than a dying battery (app, system). Can also get OS Monitor to see if something is over-using your ram/cpu.
N.B.: Extended battery makes your back cover much larger, you'll also need a different case (if you're using one).

Nothing's using up my battery because I checked through a multitude of apps and the processes running were all the same as before my battery was really dying. I do have a case so I guess I'll just try to find a smaller battery. Thanks for confirming my suspicion about my battery!
I have the ZeroLemon battery. 2300 ma. Same size as stock battery. It was a good deal. They give you 2 batteries and wall charger. Only downside is it does not have NFC. I don't use it so didn't bother me.

I got the zero lemon 2300 and I went from 1.5 hrs of screen on time to a little over 4 hrs of screen on time. Once while doing nothing but watching videos I got 5.5 hrs. My phone is the same age as yours. Seems that is about the lifespan of smart phone batteries.
edited to add that my phone would lose 2.5 % an hr while idle, but now it's only 0.4%.
