I got a Naztech 3000 mAh "extended" battery, since my stock one lasts for around 14 hours on a single charge. I figured I may add an extra 6 hours or so, or use my phone a bit more during the day.
So, here's what happened.
Day one: 4 hours after I charged my "extended" battery, I was down to 15% charge. 1 hour later, it was at 1%. I hadn't used my phone AT ALL. Charged after 6 hours of (no) use.
Day 2: Pretty much the same.
Day 3: Ran Battery Repair and wiped battery stats. No change.
Day 4: Used my phone heavily, and noticed it stayed at 1% for a couple of hours.
Day 5: Noticed a pattern. The battery will drop to 1% within 3~4 hours of use, and will stay there for around 9 hours. Then it'll turn off.
So, the "extended" battery lasts for some 12 hours - tops. 3 hours after charging you won't know how much juice you have left, since it stays at 1% from that point on.
Bottom line: don't waste your money, the battery is crap.
I have the same issue but not with that battery, i've been trying to find a way to fix it, none of the battery voodoo has worked for me yet
after my phone shuts off because it thinks it's dead and i plug it in to charge, within 2 minutes i have about 20% or more charge in the battery, then after 15 minutes it's about 50% or more charge.
is that same thing happening to you ??

Sort of, yes. It charges in half an hour, tops - if the phone is turned off. If I then turn it on, the phone shows 40% charge, or so - and tops 10 or 15 minutes later. Bizarre!
Happens to me also but only with the replacement battery i have.? It discharges fast and stays at 5% for a few hours. The OEM Battery 1880mah works fine about 1 and half day

I am having the same issue with my OEM Battery.Is there any solution for this or can we set the indicator to show the charge according voltage of battery bcoz i have noticed that charge time is good only indicator is not showing it accurately .My phone last full charge lasted more than 17hrs but it was on 5% in 2 to 3hrs of use.
Update: Today my charge was at 100% at 10.00 AM. With light usage, the phone died at around 5.30 PM.
My battery seems to report better percentages of juice left if I use Kholk's kernel, but I'm not sure exactly why. It doesn't go along very well with Faux's kernel, though.
...can't say much about the factory kernel. Haven't used it much myself.

Actually, the atrix doesn't support aftermarket batteries. Motorola says so, and Mugen says so. That battery is fine, you can use it on 1% for a while. And when it dies charging from 1-99% is accurate for my battery. But when you hit 100% all bets are off.

Did you turn phone off to charge, and pull battery and after it boots to a ?. You should let it sit there for a while and try again.
Mugen has an extended battery for the Atrix:

Of course, that one is $119, so it probably will work as intended...
Yesterday I got 6 hours out of my charge. I got fed up and swapped the battery for the stock one. $25 I'll never see again...
Correction on the TITLE 4200 not 4300 sorry
The problem
Battery. it 40% in less than 12h
The set up
SgsIII stock rom
Ive been running windows 8 launcher(a week), apex launcher
Hyperion 4200 battery
Most charges are 8/9hrs
I kill most apps with holding home than the trash can.
Here what ive noticed in the last 2to 3 weeks ive been getting super crapp battery life. I was getting 1day +10hrs on moderate use
And now ive been lucky to get 12hrs on this battery. When im out at work I turn wifi off gps off and screen rotation off.
I also noticed a couple of times when I took it off charge it showed 100% then in 10min it was down to 88% and steadly dropping.
Is there a way to recalibrate the battery.
I don't know if its the exact same battery you have, but I've been using this Hyperion for a month now and I'm starting to have problems with it too:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00851RT28/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
For the first 3 weeks it worked totally fine, charged to 100% in a reasonable time, etc. But now it takes a REALLY long time to charge. And it only charges to 98% instead of 100. Also, the battery drains a lot faster than it did the first 3 weeks.
I'm running stock everything.
Killed all background apps to make sure that it wasnt the cause for battery drain too.
hi,i bought e new battery 1350 mah for my samsung before 5 days,and it gets 100% charged in 30 min and it goes down to quick,for example when i'm connected to wi-fi and open youtube consumes 5 % immediately.do you have any suggestions?

Hi, I have also replaced my Gio battery about 6 months ago, Original Samsung Battery is 1350mAh for $18.
The normal charge time from about 5% to full should be 3 hours (using 220V).
It seems you should calibrate it, letting all the juices flow slowly until death, and then charge it until full in offline mode.
If it is still happening, ask the shop for replacement.

thanks,i'll do it.
Hi,
i just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Wifi. The tablet is really great but the battery drain is a joke. I lost about 10% over night in standby. I turned off Wifi, enabled eco mode and all the time the "Anroid System" service take 40-50% off battery consumption. But there are no wakelocks (e.g. Display on time for example 30 min and System process 40min.). Before i got the Pro 8.4 i own a Tab 3 and there the battery drained 10% in one week, if not in usage. Somebody else having this problem? Maybe my magnet cover causes a sensor error, which drains battery? Or haven´t the battery reached max capacity through charging? The Tablet is not rooted.
Is the tablet brand new, like the last day or so? If so, you need to go through a full discharge cycle (drain to 10% or so, then charge to full) in order to properly calibrate the high and low flags on the battery meter. The meter is often not properly calibrated out of the box.

Yes i get is factory new on friday last week and charged it 2 times since that. But i was never below 20% battery. I will try that this time. Thank you!
Hi all,
My phone drained 14 percent battery yesterday while idle for 9 hours. The interesting thing is when i add the mAh usages that i see in battery and performance tab it only adds up to 6 percent battery usage. ( i calculated and confirmed with time that 40 mah is aproximately 1% battery)
Also this morning i am seeing an unusual drain as well while the screen is on, it drained 5% but it should have draned only 3% because it says it drained 138 mAh.
Does anyone have any idea about this problem?
This also happened 2 weeks ago and the only thing common both days were, i charged my phone slower (charged using usb on the car) instead of using fast charging.
I also leave the screen shots that shows the battery usage.
