Define hot, with a temperature reading. People who live in Alaska think 70F is hot. Download a battery monitor app and take a look at the battery temp while it's charging. If it's under 45-50c, that's normal. (Albeit at the high end of normal operating temperatures)
The phone has very little in the way of insulation between your hand and the battery (Source of most of the heat). It could be running at the same temp as your old phone, but "Feel" hotter because of the thin back.

Everything is the same with the i9220 & i717 except the radio right?
sent from places you don't want to go...
I think the i9220 is the international version.
So different back plate, no nfc and different processor as well.
But the dimensions should be the same.
Hoping this case snaps over top the i717.
I believe the i9220 is the UK version of the note? Same dimensions, but you never know...
The exterior dimensions are the same. I can see some compromises were made to the design, because of the Spen. I'd be a little concerned about the smallish charger. They should have designed it with the charging port integrated to the case like many iPhones have. This would have given it a more finished, put together look. Still awesome to see so many options for cases, extended batteries and charging out there!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
My reasons for getting this particular extended battery case is:
1) didn't make the Note any longer
2) has a built in kickstand
3) option for charging another device that takes micro USB charger
4) easiest on/off case I've seen.
5) because it says "Galaxy Note" on the kickstand
I will order this in a couple days.

Curious to see how it does. If it's at least as good as another standard battery it'd be worth it.
I bought a similar one from Chinavasion. And it was also an international version. It fit perfectly on my at&t note.

What screen on time are you seeing?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Oh its different cause since it actually counts as charging the battery it doesn't record that. See I can do 5 hours on my stock battery alone and I know for a fact that I can double it with the battery case. Its a battery case so it keeps my battery at 100 for about 6 hours and then my stock battery takes over. Do you understand what i mean?

Phone takes too long to charge

Suddenly my phone takes up to 20 hours to complete charge. What's the problem? Charger or battery?

Custom rom?
First thing to try is to wipe battery stats when it's fully charged.
If that didn't fix it, ask around and switch chargers with someone.
A new battery is the last option being that it's the most expensive solution and the hardest to test.

Charging but discharging

This doesn't make sense. My phone is charging but my battery is discharging. I've changed batteries but it's not the issue.
What could it be?

That's a weird situation, somehow your battery just isn't getting voltage. Get an external charger, they sell 2 batts and an external charger for less than $20 on amazon.
I approve this message.

I actually had the same issue when I first installed a custom rom on my s3. All I had to do to fix it was run a quick nandroid restore. Other's that I've talked to who had this issue told me to try different kernels, specifically kernels designed around battery life. Hope this helps

most probably your charging port is faulty. Try blowing air in the port and see if that helps. Or take it to the service center.

You need to factory reset. If it fixes it, its software. If not, hardware. You need to know so you can send it for repair
