Does anyone know if Samsung is going to be putting out an official extended battery for the Galaxy S3? I don't trust the cheap "extended" third party batteries that are likely relabeled standard sizes with cheap cells, considering they're the exact same size, yet claim 1000+ mAh over the standard.
They did it for the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, but I have no idea when that battery came out in comparison to the Galaxy Nexus's launch.
Any suggestions?
I just picked up the Hyperion extended battery and back cover.
first initial charge:
Almost 42 hours of use.
Just so you know, I loaded my s3 with as much load as I could:
Turned off auto bright set screen just past middle
Engaged all my "live" apps that Galway update, including eBay, tapatalk, xda pre., etc.
Turned on WiFi, blue tooth, data, and every possible battery trainer I could think of and put all my emails to push.
I you tubed the hell out of it, looked at some porn vids, played the greatest game ever made for android as much as possible, basically tried to get to zero as fast as possible.
42+ hours and then it went time red.
Hyperion is a very reliable battery.
Something else weird:
My WiFi signal was stronger.
Could be a placebo thing but I will report back again Friday, as I need to charge for 8 hours again. It is suggested to drain to red and charge fir 8 hours straight a few times.
Hyperion ftw !
Fyi 4000 ma.
Lol I even painted the battery cover world rally blue to match my scooby

Nice car, I have a black '04. :good:
Do you have (or could you please post) a picture of the phone with the extended case sitting on a flat surface? I'm curious how much it makes the phone stick up. Also, have you come across any (protective) cases for extended battery backs?
that doesn't look any thicker than my epic did.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I'll try to post up some comparison pics today later on
Also have not looked around for extended cases but I think I have seen some.
OK so here's some comparison pics.
I used my htc rezound as something to compare it with. I think for some this at be to much, but the case actually makes the phone more ergonomical.
I loved the build of my amaze (resounds cousin) so for me the thickness isn't an issue.

Hola
Another inquiry... Did you ever come across a thin phone case that was compatible with the extended battery cover?
Btw thanks for the info on the battery and accompanying photos.
Edit: ahhh never mind. I missed the post where you said that you have not looked for a case.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
Link to said extended battery? Is it for the Att lte or international SG3 ??
Blazing Galaxy S3
Need to keep an eye on this thread. I know I will be looking for an extended life batter at some time.

Just eBay it. Hyperion hasvtheir own account and (another reason I buy from them) they are in Michigan. Nice not to have to buy from China.
I paid 16$ for the battery and cover.
I think the buy it now was like 20$
I thought I saw cases for extended batteries on eBay but not sure.
I'm gonna 're do my back cover and clear cote it and see how I feel about it. I like the naked feel. I may just do a full invisible body armor or something.
Also I previously contacted andida they said extended batteries for the gs3 would be out soon and it appears they are on eBay ad of yesterday.
I may buy one just for comparison.
I think the Andida was 4500 as opposed to this one being like 4100ma or something.
Edit: just looked at the battery... made in China....lol. ah well. Still a good product.

If you do end up finding a case that will protect the phone well and fits the extended battery then please post a link. I'm not going to buy an extended battery until I can buy a case for it. I have that bad habit of periodically dropping things. :banghead:

I ordered the battery and back cover yesterday from Amazon, Hyperion has their own account there as well. Same price as ebay. Estimated delivery time is sometime in the next three weeks, but if anyone is still interested when I get it I can put up some more pictures.

I would very much appreciate that. Since the S3 is so thin already, I was thinking about getting an extended battery.
That was my thought too. I never thought I'd say this, but it might actually be too thin. I also ordered a Seidio Active w/kickstand case, but that won't fit the extended battery.
Edit: A bit of new info I just found, Mugen is planning a 4600mAh battery w/cover and a protective case for it. They just recently released a 2300mAh battery, but the big one isn't out quite yet.
https://www.facebook.com/MugenPowerBatteries
I have had great experiences with Seidio's extended batteries. I emailed them asking if they intend to make one for the G3. They replied and confirm that they will make one but would not give me any eta on it.
I just bought a Anker battery rated @ 2200mAh.. I prefer swapping batteries vs. having a thicker and heavier phone. I have used Anker with the sensation and the amaze. never let me down.

I had the Power brand from them for my EVO 4G. That thing ran all day with me playing games from time to time and playing on the internet. I think I might have went to the red maybe 3 or 4 times with that thing and it was late at night. I will be keeping an eye out for it from them.
One thing about the Seidio is their "soft coat" battery door. Unlike the oem cover which I find slippery, this soft coat gives a slight resistance.
I am looking to buy the seidio active with kickstand. This Commuter is too slippery! If I were to buy it, could I reasonably expect that seidio's eventual extended battery will fit in it?

I've looked through a bunch of the postings on replacement batteries for the G1 and recently came across the following on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0195414&_trkparms=tab=Watching#ht_1867wt_1044
The ad looked a little suspect, because the description says 2300mAH, but the picture shows a battery with 2200 mAH. I emailed the seller, and they told me that the both the pictures AND the description were inaccurate and batteries they had were actually rated 2400mAH.
Wondering if anyone has had experience with this particular seller or this kind of battery. Seems like they're having a sale currently until Monday, for the battery + door for only $9.52 which seems insanely cheap.
The Yoobao brand battery which was reviewed here is 2x as expensive:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522146&highlight=battery
So I figure I might take a chance with it. Any thoughts / advice would be appreciated.
The shell looks way to goofy with the battery hump. I would get one with a full case, the only drawback is the speaker has more air to move through and the valume is a little quieter.
Yeah the cover put me off that one, although the sale price is nice. I suppose with that cover it would fit in a dock though.
I just got this one a couple of days ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-G1-T-MOBILE...s?hash=item4ceabd1c59&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177 First impressions weren't too good, the battery meter when charging goes up in jumps and then stays on 99% for some time, it then died overnight despite being on 30%. Second day however after 11 hours off charge and used heavilly it still claimed 50%. I might do a mini-review of it when I have had a few more days to judge it.
I ordered two batteries off of eBay one was a 2400 MAH battery which changed the phones form factor because of the added thickness and necessary change to a bigger battery door. It made my G1 so fat I chose not to use it. Then I found a deal on eBay with a battery with 1600 mah for 9.99... i have about a week with it and cannot complain. if you guys are interested in the merchant let me know and ill post his info or PM me

this the one i ordered one too http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350242308920&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123
So, does the 1600mAH Andida brand spare battery from ebay seem to last a lot longer than the stock battery?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350242308920&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123
I read a review from someone about a 1700mAH battery from Ebay that was the same size as stock but didn't actually last any longer during the day.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Q638-High-Capac...ries?hash=item4a9a076896&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14 is the one I bought off ebay. I have been very pleased with it. I can easily get over a full day with gps, wifi and 3g turned on as well as the screen brightness set at 50% and surfin the net all day. You also don't have that goofy hump back. The only draw back is the wait time to get things from China, but overall well worth it.
idk about that seller but i got the 2400mah and its amazing. and for the loss in sound quality just use my fix......super glue a cut down pen cap to the extended battery cover by the holes for sound. and obviously cut it down to size and the thingie off the side off so it can fit properly in the phone and the sound will just travel straight from the speaker to your eyes cuz you dojnt have all that space to muffle it anymore.
sorry if my description was bland. it should be simople enough

(Sorry if it's blurry, I used the camera on the G1)
Calibrating it right now and it's taking longer to charge compared to my OEM battery so it might be legit. I'm disappointed that it didn't come with any packaging though except for the bubble wrap. I was expecting the packaging in the pics with the plastic box. Comes with a nice little Andida holographic sticker in the back though lol. I'll test it out later today after it's charged for 4-5 hours.
yup... thats exactly the same one I purchased... enjoy! It is a moderate increase... but it doesn't seem substantial... but it was worth the 10 bucks.

Hey that's not too bad, don't forget Lithium are always degrading so your old one will have been better.
What's a "day" and "moderate" usage though?
I'd consider my last days usage "light", no calls, an hour of open sudoku, couple of emails read, couple of apps updated, couple of dozen+ webpages (a lot were just google though, some xda postings), 20 mins music, about 20-30 mins games (just normal, no emulators) and a bit of random tooling about.
I have the 2850mAh, normally I have been getting down to 30-60% after a 17/18 hour day. After this lighter usage I am at 62% after 29h31m with the screen on 2h45m (wifi is always on).
I bought 3 spare 2600 mAh batteries and a charger to charge them while not in the phone off of eBay for $13.99 shipped. They just arrived today (2 days to So. Cal) and look very nice. Charger is very cool looking. Won't know if they actually work until I get the Note, of course, lol, but I'll let you know.

They are for the international model of course, so I hope they fit, but the price was too awesome.
I decided instead of going the extended battery route, which I did with my Streak, I would just get a ton of regular batteries. I find that these big phones get real big with an extended battery...

It is amazing how cheap they'll sell 3 batteries and a charger from Hong Kong. I hope they work, I'll be ordering some myself.
And you get an extra 100 mah to boot. lol

Here is a link to the sellers other batteries. He lists them as 2500 mAh for some reason, but they are clearly labeled 2600 mAh, and also labeled as replacement batteries for i9220 Galaxy Note/GT-N7000
Haven't tried them yet, obviously, but the seller has a 99.5% feedback rating. Also, got the batteries in 2 days (he's in the USA)! Everything looks very high quality.

I'm just guessing here but I'm surmising that you don't have auto period insert or auto capitalization turned on..... Or would that be classified as a run-on sentence?
Thanks for the info.
Did it overheat while charging or discharging? I am by no means an expert, but I could imagine it overheating while charging. I'll have to remember to use the included charger to charge it outside of the Note only!
Thanks for the heads-up

If it helps at all, just by the picture I'm pretty sure I ordered the same brand of charger and batteries for my SGSII, or at least identical in appearance aside from obviously being a different size. Never had any issues with them over several months of use and its tough to call but I'd say they held either as much charge as OEM or too close to call. I just picked up my Note today (Canada is on a roll with phones lately I guess) and I'm definitely going to order that
does they work fine？i am still waiting mine
I had these hong kong knock off batteries for my Evo 3d. Someone on xda peeled back the plastic and found out they are only 1100 capacity. They only kept a good charge for 3 months at most. Then they became hockey pucks.
I got these off amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...0GBY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329492227&sr=8-1
You get what you pay for.
Yeah, honestly it's better to pay up to buy batteries and other certain parts in the US...rather than gamble with the HK counterparts. I learned the hard way...was too stubborn so I kept telling myself I was saving myself money. It's usually far worse when you're dealing with SD/ microSD kind of cards.
I have bought the Amazon Hyperion cheapies for my last 3 phones and I really can't complain.
They seem to hold up for the year that I own the phone as long as you buy the 2 pack and rotate all 3 batts.

My charger just broke (one of the pins) and I've remembered why I hated having a single battery.
With the charger, I never had to plug in the phone itself. Just swapped out the battery and rebooted. Put the spent battery in the charger and it was ready to go when I needed it.
Moral of the story - I will always buy an extra battery. Plus, the new charger I ordered is universal, so I can use it to charge both Note and Captivate batteries.

Less charging cycles = longer batt life. You charge/discharge one batt constantly, even the OEM batts...you will lose some capacity in about 6 months.

Hey everyone here is my little review on the Qcell "4150 mAh" Extended battery sold on Amazon.
First thing I have to say is that I WILL be updating this post as I go through charge cycles with this battery.
Upon receiving the battery yesterday, I put it to charge right away. I did a stress test on it and let it recharge once more after draining. I must say that the packaging on it is better than most "ebay" batteries that I receive. It came in a little "Qcell" pouch with the battery and cover.
Today, I tested the battery. It ran for ~18hrs 40 min with a 4 hour screen time and 3 email accounts pushing with moderate internet browsing.
I have to say at the moment, it is not worth carrying this pregnant phone around with only the ~5 hrs increase in usage time. However, I hope that after it goes through some charge cycles it will get better. The battery it self is about 1.4 cm thick(I just used a ruler and eyeballed it)
Now moving on to the cover. The back cover is white and semi close to the OEM back cover. It has no markings anywhere and is not as glossy. The back "hump" is is unlike the Mugen Extended Battery covers, it only raises the battery portion while leaving the camera/flash flush with the phone. The cover does feature the NFC however, I do not know how to test it . It also has NO kickstand.
Problems:
My main complaint at the moment is the cover IS VERY LOOSE on the phone . I do not even need to pry it apart using the corner near the volume rocker, I can literally pull it off by jiggling it from one side.
I have sent a complaint to Qcell and they are sending me a new cover so hopefully I just received a defective model.
In conclusion, the battery it self isn't too pricy and I honestly should expect a premium quality with it. The battery does it's job by outlasting the OEM/Ankers that I use but at the moment I would rather stick with my Ankers. The pregnant phone also doesn't look as attractive and slick. I also cannot use my case which makes me very paranoid about dropping it.
Let me know if you guys need any more pictures or have any questions!
Here are some picture comparisons of the battery on my phone, OEM and Extended.
P.S. sorry about the last picture, my OEM battery is still in use so I decided to grab the next closest thing, the Anker one haha.

Wow that cover makes the phone look more than twice as thick. I am surprised.

sexy + ugly = ugly!
I rather carry a normal size spear battery in my pocket.
Update after a week of use.
After about a week of use, I can say that it honestly is not worth carrying this around. If Qcell would produce a better battery cover then I may consider going back but at the cost of my phones beauty and impracticality I'm going to have to put this battery away except for when I have no other batteries to use.
The battery has performed better(as it should) from day one. I can get a full day of heavy use which is nice, but the LOOSE battery cover just keeps me paranoid.
How this has helped you with your choice on 1 of the many extended batteries out there.
I like it
Just wanted to help out and say try it again. I had a heck of a time getting my cover on as well. I like how I can mod my old silicone case for this. And battery will hopefully get better with time.
Tip- try placing phone on flat surface and press hard on edges near battery. Mine snaps tight.
I think it would be a better idea just to get another battery. That over-sized battery just looks hideous on the phone. How were you able to put it in your pocket?

I completely agree, I have 3 ankers at my disposal along with my OEM
But I just figured I give it a shot since no one on the forums has done a review on it yet and it is also my first Extended battery for any phone I have owned.
If you have decided it is something you will not use and you would consider selling it, I am interested. I am in the hospital at the moment, but should be out by Wednesday, I will have my paycheck by then and can make arrangements with you.

They are only 11 bucks on Amazon with free shipping. I think it's cheaper than buying from me TBH. Because shipping it out to you would cost a few bucks.
Thanks for the offer tho!
Ok just thought I would offer, and I had never checked price, actually just skipped to the review part. Gotta wonder for 11 bucks wonder what they skipped on. The cells may be of the "questionable" quality.

and the battery is not amazing compared to my OEMS/Anker.

Haha good choice, go with Ankers or OEMs. Had the best output with them.
Just sent my QCell Batteries back to Amazon. One would not take a charge and the other one would only last 9 hours.
Picked up Anker as a replacement.

update 1: the first use 50% of battery after full charge. I think this battery has at least 4500mAh.
50% battery for 3 hours of screen time and ~ 20 hours standby. WOW. My stock battery 3:15 - 3:45hours with RootDim and Juice Defender.
So i receive it today. looks sturdy, nice matte black cover. Fits PERFECTLY to my ATT Note also my wall charger. I'll review the battery life later after my first drain, charging now
i am afraid if i buy them under $10 may causes my phone damage.
I wish they had a white cover...

white cover for $18 not onsale like the black one.
Welp, I caved in and ordered it. Thanks for the Free Ship code!
I'll report back when I get this.
I know it's ridiculous but I know I'll have some use for this if this works as they claim. Most people tell me to just get a 2nd battery, but for my use, that is not an option. We go on 100mi. bike rides where we track our routes via GPS and the AllSport app to see how we do. Swapping batteries will kill the recording so hopefully this extra 5000maH carries my phone from start to finish and actually record a whole ride.
I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Going camping for a week in Colorado next month and this will be great. Although I am somewhat worried about this causing damage to my phone. Kind of. Don't really know what to think. But hey, it was $10.....

Just ordered 5 seconds ago. For $10, can't go wrong. This bat is at least = or better than stock 2500mah. Summer time coming, extra juice for the phone.
I seriously think other brand battery cost ~ $90. This should be a winner.
For $10 I couldnt help it, went ahead and bit the bullet myself!

I rather not take that chance just to save $10. I got Samsung Original Note battery from AT&T for $20.
If later the quality of the battery has been proven, sure I'll buy. Just like when NewTrent first came out a couple of years ago. No one heard of them but look at the reviews in Amazon now. HUNDREDS of 4.5 stars review.
Of course, this is just my opinion.. just sayin...

Awesome articles . I hope whoever bought non OEM battery not get into that. Wait, 1 iphone out of more than 110 mil iphone selling world wide. Wow, is it 0.000000001%, i think winning Mega Milion have the same chance too 1 out of 175mil people, just saying
PS: I bought the ATT Original for $15 because I'm business cus and have all accessories for 50% off, but still try this one.
I'm working in a Lion battery Lab so i pretty much know about Lion battery. It's safer than you thought
Anyone order this and get it in yet? Mine should be here Friday. I can't wait to get it and then take off the plastic/covering to see what size battery is actually in it.
I have the 3030 MAh Gold Battery atm, this one is 1/3 the price and sounds promising. The only thing I'm skeptical about, is what the construct is like.
Apparantly there are a few others out there who opened a battery (claiming to have more than 5000mah) and finding out that it was actually two 1500mah batteries taped together, hence the cheap price?
Someone post an update on the battery, and let us know how it works!

That was the Hyperion battery you are talking about. I'm hoping this one isn't the same way.
I got my 2 pack of Anker 2500 mah and they "seem" to be true 2500mah.
Got it in! Pictures
So today I got home from worked, checked the mail, and wooohooo! Manila envelope in the mailbox!
So I opened this bad boy up and immediately started peeling the sticker off. I got the sticker peeled all the way off around and come to find out it is 3 batteries stuck together(with no markings on them). Like an idiot I started to push them out of the little plastic cage-type thing they are held together in and *SPARK* / *ZAP* I got shocked/burnt. It didn't hurt, just a little burn mark on my finger.
So I was reluctant to try it out my phone, but curiosity got the best of me and I put it in and the phone wouldn't even turn on. So I'm sure I fried it.
What is worse, I try to see how the back cover fits, and look what I find...
Its cracked!
So I called up the company, waited on hold for about five minutes.
Talked to a CSR and she said they would be getting a new shipment next week and they would ship a new one out along with a return address label to ship this one back. We'll see how this one fares.
Anyways, here are some more pics -Notice it DOES has the NFC Antenna
Hope this helps someone!
Yup, received it today, update some pix on my 1 post, review battery life later, really sturdy and promising. battery kinda heavy too
Got mine a few days ago. So far so good except for the same issues as above post. The back cover for me was cracked down in the bottom corner where the s-pen slot would be! Cover doesn't properly lock into the phone itself so that one corner hangs lose.
I called the company I ordered it from. The customer service was very good. They did notify me that the shipment is currently sold out and that they'll send me a new cover as soon as new shipments come in.

luckily, mine doesnt have that issue. it fits so tight. even better compares to the stock one. love the battery so far. still trying to drain all my first charge. I really recomend this battery. i think i will have more than 5 hours of screen times
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note™ - please forgive any typos
Well looks like that was a sale... back to its regular price of ~$20. Should have bought one just to have, just in case.

The zerolemon blog suggest that the batteries will be out as soon as july 5... so does this makes u excited more juice would help this phone alot.. good to know that the company is already working on it,now we know we can have a better battery ! so does this make u think on buying this phone after hearing some different reviews from various sites ????:silly::silly:

I would love an extended battery for the G3, but goddamn do they make their cases aesthetically unpleasing.
I'd only buy slim batteries. I don't want a super huge battery that adds a lot of bulk.

I think I may just go the route of a second battery if it's even necessary. It won't take more than a few seconds to pop in. I've yet to see a Zero Lemon case that I'd actually want to use. They are pretty fugly.
I have the 7000mAh ZeroLemon for my Galaxy S3. My decision for the LG G3 was also based on it having an exchangeable battery. If ZeroLemon will have a battery for the G3 I will surely get it. I just wonder whether ZeroLemon will also include the wireless charging in the back cover...
i would much rather carry a second battery with me and pop it in if my first battery die, than to carry around a brick all day. Their cases are so ugly.
To be honest, I'm mixed on these slim batteries from ZeroLemon. I have one for my Galaxy S4, which is supposed to be higher capacity than the original one, but I can;t see any difference (I switch from one to the other when they;re empty, and always get roughly the same time).

No surprises here. The benefit of extended batteries have always been sacrificing some bulk for not having to carry or keep swapping batteries out. You charge it for the day and you don't have to think about it.
Whether the benefit is worth it to you or not is a personal thing of course.
Personally, I purchase both a spare battery for daily use and an extended battery for those extended trips/flights/etc...
TLDR: One solution is not "better" than the other as they both have their own purpose.
My experience is that I got used to the increase in bulk. (Actually I preferred the feel of it after about a week.) I NEVER get used to running out of battery. ZeroLemon completely changed my cellphone experience. Being able to travel and play video games almost nonstop for 20 hours is nice. If I forgot to charge the phone a couple of days in a row... not a big deal. ZeroLemon completely eliminated my worries about my battery dying too soon. I hope that ZeroLemon drops the G3 battery very soon. I hope that it will be over 9000 mAh (Triple the capacity is what they tout.) I will be getting a ZeroLemon as soon as possible.
I'm waiting to see if the case that it comes with is the tpu or the rugged ZeroShock case. I had a ZL on my note 2 and loved it, 4 to 5 days of hard use with low signal most all the time. Loved it, and got use to the bulk I kinda prefer that I guess.
It's going to be sweeeet.
From their Facebook:
ZeroLemon fans,
We appreciate your patience as we've been dealing with delays for our LG G3 products.
Here is a preview of the 9000 mAh capacity battery and ZeroShock case!
We are still working on the exact date, but it will be available by the end of August.

Too bad it's hideous. They should make a replacement back cover with an extended a battery and wireless charging.

Everyone have different taste & I think: hmmm. Not the most beautiful I'd have seen.
But ofc they will release more back covers.

Well, the design isn't horrible, but I'd like something on the slimmer side. I'd take a slimmer back cover/case (like the Slim Guard + a bigger battery) over their super rugged with ginormous battery if that was an option. I'm probably just going to buy their replacement batteries with a charger once they become available and stick to standard cases.

I do agree, I don't think the thickness on this phone should be so much bigger. I like how it lays in my hand atm,
So like you, I would like Slim Guard w/ bigger battery.
gonna we able to use this battery without zeroshock case? Just replace orginal battery with this one?
Regards,
Loris
any word on a in-between size? when i had my galaxy s3 i had a 3000 mah battery from samsung... just wondering.
I've had a zero lemon for my Galaxy Note 2. They're the best. Period. Triple the battery life? Yes please. As one person said I can get used to extra bulk, I cant get used to running out of battery mid day. Stock batteries blow, plain and simple. Unless you dont actually use your phone.
I will be buying this tout suite the moment it comes out for my new LG g3. I dont care what it looks like, I'm not posing around making a fashion statement, I'm requiring a tool that works all day every day without fail.
Going from 0.35mm to over 19mm is insane. I'd rather not carry a brick in my pocket, and thats almost as big as a real brick.
Personally I just want these companies to release something.. going on trips with stock battery is not fun :crying:
