I am getting great battery on my Note!

The only issue is that I can use my phone as much as I want without having to worry about it dying while I'm out. On previous phones I had to change my behavior and usage to make it last. Granted I wish it lasted 5 days like my phones did in the 90s, but the trade offs are worth it.

I'm with everyone else what issue 22 hours of battery life for me.

huh.
have no idea what you're talking about.

How are you charging the phone? If you use the OEM charger supplied with the phone, it is taking overnight to get to 80%? Any other charger than OEM, or charging using your computer, is very likely to exhibit the problem you're talking about, but if the problem is with the OEM charger, that's really strange, especially for two devices. Mine takes about 2.5-3 hours for 0 to full using the OEM charger.

heres the thread

A quote from the OP of that thread "It only seemed to charge at a reasonable rate with the stock charger that shipped "
So the issue is that if you use the charger that Samsung provided there is no problem... but when you use some knockoff or charger made for another model phone, then it doesn't charge as quickly? And you want to report to Samsung that these third party chargers don't work as well as the OEM one? If so, I would love to be the person at Samsung responding to that complaint.

Check out the other thread on this topic. It seems they have explained the issue. It's related to a couple of shorted wires in the charger.

My old iPhone cases don't fit on my Note... that's it, I'm calling Samsung!!1

That's what I wanted to find out from this OP. I'm the OP of the linked post, and I'm not complaining at all that 3rd party chargers do not charge as fast as the OEM charger. I was just providing that information. But I'm curious if the OP of this post is using the OEM charger and having issues, or if he/she is using a 3rd party charger, and having issues? No word back from them, so I guess they don't care that much lol.

Anker Sensation 4G 1900mah Battery

Hey all.
Just wanted to post and say that my Sensation battery works flawlessly in my EVO 3D. Many reviews and tests on the Sensation boards are confirming the battery is indeed 1900mah so its a good deal for a $10 battery from California!
Is there any noticeable difference? I don't see what an extra 200 (or whatever it is) mah will do, still $10 isn't bad for just a general backup battery.

Eh its alright. I've only had the phone for a few days tho. I'll get back to ya.
I've had these batteries for a week now and do notice a slight increase over stock. However I only calibrated it 2x (full discharge and recharge).
Thanks for the info. Even if they are just 1730mah then they are still a great deal compared to $30 for a stock HTC battery! Got a link? I'm gonna order 1 or 2 tonight

Robstunner, can you confirm that this is the seller that you got yours from as well?
Oh, another question for any one with these batteries and charger. Does the battery show 100% charged when you put it in your phone after using the external charger? My ebay docking station with extra battery charger in the back doesnt fully charge. When I put in a battery off the charger, it reads from 86-94%. I've tried taking them out as soon as teh light turns green and also leaving them in 5 hours after the light is green, same results though...
If this one actually charges to 100%, then that is another added bonus!!! I can charger 2 extra batteries at the same time, and when the dock says its charged, I'll put the battery in the charger that comes with the Anker batteries to finish them off.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220809471557
Thats what i got. I believe the Sensation users were saying that there is a 1930mah one made by anker for EVO3D. THe mentioned it because it also worked on the Sensation.
Can't find a seller in Germany..
Only one seller on ebay provides shipping to germany. One battery for $24,99 and shipping cost $5,00. Not a very good deal, is it? =/

Id like to know about the white charger as well. I have a black one from ebay for sensation and it charges the anker 1900mah up to 99% but it charges my oem up to 90%. I need a charger that will charge the OEM batt to alteast 99%.

Considering it is 1900mah and lasts a bit longer than OEM which cost more then I would say its a fair deal but not a great deal. Also not having an extra charger kinda makes it pointless to have an extra battery. Just my thoughts.
I have a couple of these and aso notice a bit of improvement over stock. Depending on my usage maybe 1 to 2 hours better. The charger seems to work fine for me as the voltage with the charger versus charging via the phone are identical. Testing with a multimeter after full charge.

So after using the white external charger to fully charge the battery, once it lights up that its done and you put the battery in the phone, the phone shows battery as 100% ?
So far for me these batteries run cooler and longer. Its pretty cool that the charger is universal and can charge almost any cell battery.
PS. They also always charge to 100 percent for me.

Yep sure does. Although I did wipe battery stats and did 2 full cycles this way. Seems strange that it would actually be 100% though since it does take some power to boot the phone. But I guess not enough to make a difference. I'm using ViperRom with a self made circle battery with %. System panel also shows 100% can't remember the voltage system panel showed, ill look next time I put one in if you're interested.

Are you guys still using OEM at all? I have 2 of these anker but I wanna get an extra one and forget about the stock so it doesnt screw up my battery stats.
I use them all including stock, the voltages seem to be pretty close and I get maybe an hour less on the stock bat with my usage. So I think you will be ok interchanging them.

Anker portable AC/DC wall charger w/ 2 batteries, 14.99 in US from eBay! MANY PICS!

Hello XDA. Another post to try and help the community. I just received my order from eBay and wanted to share.
So I decided to buy some extra batteries to have on hand so as not to run out of juice. In the process, I also wanted a separate charger to keep them charged. To my amazement, I found the Anker charger WITH 2 replacement batteries for $14.99 shipped from a California seller!
I also ordered a Hyperion desktop dock that has a built in charger for an extra battery. This dock should arrive later this week but also a California seller off eBay! I'll post when that arrives.
Anyway, back to the Anker. Packaging is nice. It's in retail packaging as if it's sold in stores. Comes with instructions too! The charger is universal and can charge many different styles of batteries. It also has a USB port to charge another item while it's charging battery. The other nice thing is it will charge from a wall outlet OR a car charger! The mini USB plug is also on the side with the USB port. I'm not so sure on the charging pins however as they seem a bit thin and will require to be lined up every time a battery is inserted. The pins slide from right to left to allow for different size batteries. That's another issue. The battery for the Note is so big that it has to sit off to one side to allow for the charging pins to make contact.
The batteries are also retail packaged and come with instructions. They are White in color... Matches my Note.... And seem about the same weight. They are listed at 2500Mah but I have yet to try them out for longevity.
There are many pics I've taken to try and paint a picture as to what you'll get if you decide to order. Hopefully this will help someone who may want or need them. Any questions, let me know!
Here goes:

The seller is laptopmate_usa. I have no affiliation with said seller nor can I vouch for them but I will say, shipped fast and free. They have a great feedback too. I figured it might be faster for anyone searching for this deal if I gave the name of the seller.
Hopefully these items will work and provide long lasting performance. If not, it was only $14.99.....

let us know the life for one full charge plz...
I got something similar for my Xperia Play last year. I only wanted the charger but it came with two batteries and was only £10 or £15.
I expected the two batteries to be useless but here I am a year later still using them, sometimes for weeks at a time as my primary battery as I tend to charge my phone a lot so it helps keep the official battery good for longer.
The batteries are of course not as good as the official one, probably around 75-80% as good but I have been very happy with them so far. So even if these batteries are similar that is money well spent in my opinion.
i got it at amazon at the same price 14.99$ (2 batteries and charger) with GUARANTEE 2 days deliver! i'm a Prime member. maybe due to popular demand, they raised the price to 16.99$ on amazon now.

i just use it like any other battery, charge it and use it.
after i got these inexpensive batteries, i havnt use the original samsung battery!
these anker battery last me the whole day just like original samsung battery. (i charge it when i go sleep).
the only time i swap battery is when phone battery is getting low or i forgot to charge it.
I also bought this same Anker deal for my Galaxy S -- off the same guy. They seemed to work as well as stock, though I didn't do any testing. They were supposed to be 300 mah bigger then stock -- I didn't notice a diference. Funny thing is it was more expensive for the batteries for my Galaxy S that are smaller then these haha. Anyways I'm not a huge fan of the charger. It says in the manual to not leave your battery charging for more then 24 hours, so I assume that means it continues to charge the battery after it reaches 100% and you'll want to take your battery off as soon as possible to avoid degradation. The charger is also made for any battery so it has these awkward sliding pins you have to set on your batteries + and - each time which can be a little annoying. Other then that, great buy.

I got these from a seller on Amazon for 8.99 I think it was. Couldn't go wrong. I actually get better life from these than my samsung battery!
Well, first charge cycle was in the 10.5 hour range with 3:25 minutes on screen. Charged it from %1 overnight so lets see what day 2 brings. I leave the wifi on as well as GPS and I'm in an LTE area with so-so signal. My average life is 12-13 hours with 2.5-3 hours screen so if I get the same oit of these, I'd be just fine with that.

got the same brand for about the same $, but for the Infuse. The batteries and the charger worked great.
Ok well charge cycle 2 is complete. About the same results. 12 hours total with 3:15 screen time. This was what I was getting with the original OEM battery. Off to cycle 3!

I just bought another battery. I found it was the battery more than port problems or anything like that. My friend and I have the same phones, same roms. We tested this by first going through 3 power cycles. After we charged it, we had only the same apps working, except for some minor checking of FB and twitter (I don't use twitter, but he does).
After our 4th power cycle, it seemed like his phone was dying faster w/ my battery in it. His battery in my phone lasted about 5-10 hours more, I did my normal daily activities on it, even played some youtube videos in class.
So I bought a new one, and bam, stays alive more than 12 hours

Are you somehow implying that was a dumb question? Because I know there's no reason Samsung has to replace it, But Apple would...
And the battery's useless to me now and had to replace with an Anker 2200mah and just want a non insulting answer how far I can push my luck with Samsung's warranty.
Check the warranty information batteries are covered but it could only be a 6 month warranty on them, it is shorter than the phones warranty.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
batteries naturally lose capacity over time. most manufacturer suggest you get new ones once a year.. so at 8 months, you're pretty close to the recommend date already so I high doubt it especially considering it's a removable one

Dammit you right...
It is only 6 months warranty on batteries, I just assumed it was 12 months because you always hear that you should replace rechargeable batteries every 12 months, But still 8 months, less than 300 charges and rarely charging at below 20% shouldn't be enough to cause a 25% capacity loss and shows it has weak cells.
how do i test my battery capacity ?
please don't ask questions in General
How have you been charging it?
Almost exclusively used USB here, 600-900mA charge. Been 6 months, one charge per day, no noticeable drop in Battery Monitor Pro stats..
Dodgy wall charger? Noticed a few posts saying it might be. Recommend BMP simply for the voltage out of range alarm feature. Went off once using the wall charger in the car via a power converter (don't have a car charger).

Been hearing that long before the Internet was created and makes sense because lithium cells do usually hold full charge about that long used daily, And anyway I just checked the warranty on my Anker 2200mah & 4400mah batteries and they got an 18 month warranty so shows phone manufacturers are just being greedy so they make more money on accessories giving a short warranty.

[Q] Really really slow charging

Hi every one,
My phone takes literally forever to charge. it has managed to get to 50% after a good 3 hours-ish and that from a wall socket
I feel as though I may have damaged the charger port on my phone, i feel this damage is caused by water.
What parts of the charger port could possibly be affected? the fact that it still charges means I am lucky but honestly I cant have a phone which charges at the rate it takes a snail to slime its way to a race. does anybody have any advice?
Thank you in advance
Read the 400+ other identical threads on charging, don't start a new one.
If water damage then you need a repair centre, probably a new phone.

I check with "Galaxy charger current". Phone is supposed to charge at 1000 and it only charges between 200-600 most of the time, and the number always changes, never the same current. Any ideas why this is? Could it be rom related or is this purely hardware? I am on Temasek's 4.4.2 with Yanks kernel if that makes a difference.
