Just wondering how many have replaced their back cover due to it being worn out and no or limited radio connections.

Not me. So far so good. But I feel it may not last long since I swap batteries often.
My battery life is horrible cause of heavy use. I have seven batteries I swap out when drained.

Yea, I've tried all those apps, task killers, battery savers. Battery life is my least concern now since I have batteries.
My problem is connections. In high 4G areas I'm usually only getting 3g and I get a lot of no data connections.

Dayum. How do you charge all those?
Just a suggestion, see how your battery life fares if you keep your screen brightness under 25% (if you can).
I use two wall chargers. I average 3-4 batteries a day which works out well for me. I've tried the lowest setting I could possibly go with still seeing the screen, didn't seem to help much believe it or not.
Since I've gotten the backup batteries I just have it on auto brightness now.
Aside from the battery life, I'm more concerned now about the limited 4G I get and no data at all at times.
I would also think even though the battery cover is built well, I think it will wear out from all the removals.

I worry about same thing removing frequently. I found this supposedly oem but from Hong Kong. But if you look at images has contacts like the original back. Ordered and will have it in about another week or so.

Wow, 16 bucks for that, I can like 5 bucks. LOL
I guess it is original equipment though, so may actually be worth it to have one as a backup. Thanks for link

How did it go with Lingosbox.com? How many days did the item arrive and did you encounter any problem with them?
Does anyone have problems with the touchscreen when the phone is charging? Mine goes crazy when I hit the screen sometimes, it simply opens up different icons than I click, I can't even slide the answer button when someone calls, I need to unplug it first... Should I send it to Samsung?
yes you should
Or at least RTFM.

I did and it says nothing about it. If you are that smart tell me what's wrong?
Anyone else? I simply don't want to RMA it if this is normal...
You don't have that glass screen protector do you?

Also is your charger a cheap ebay one or is it the one that came with the phone? Also does it work when you charge off usb?

I experienced this behaviour after using the cheap charger... So there is nothing wrong with phone ... Just use any branded charger..
my gnone won't charge with the phone on i have to turn it off before it will charge

What rom are you using? Are you using the stock wall charger and cable?
stock Rom have tried several. chargers

May have port damage ...
Did it get wet ?
Or get the charger cable pulled out of the port quickly or on an off angle ??
Just throwing a few ideas out there.
The charging flex cable being weak is a known issue for us...
Are you under warranty ??
Being stock, they should fix that...g
not under warranty .so u think i should get the whole charging port replaced

In a nut shell ...yes
Charging issues are difficult to diagnose, as you are working with multiple components to begin with.
But if different cables and chargers are tested, and fail to improve the conditions, then you are left with the device as the cause.
Additionally, if the device is unmodified, either by software or hardware that generally affects it's function, then hardware is the remainder.
Charging port is the probable cause ...IMHO ....g

Its not to difficult to change it out I bought mine from cellphonerepairshop.com got the OEM flex cable took about 20 minutes to open it up and change it theres tutorial videos on youtube if you are off contract I would suggest that.
Before you switch out any hardware, get a can of air, alcohol, and cotton swab.
Give the port a good cleaning.

Why is it not under warranty? It may not be under warranty through your carrier but it certainly is through samsung.
Okay i will check and see if it works

Great tip here ^^^^^^^^.....
Thanks ranger ....g
If you dont want to replace the port you can get another battery and a wall charger, works like a charm
I agree. I like my 2700ma batteries and charger. For long days I bring the extra battery. The rig was super cheap too, but good quality.
I've had charging troubles as well
About a month after I first received my note I went to charge it (wall outlet, original adapter/cable, as well as stock ROM no root) and it refused
to charge. Restarting twice solved the problem, but still, every so often, my note will refuse to charge and I am unsure why. When it refuses to charge, it wont accept any charging cable (I check to make sure each is clean) although the phone works normally. Is this a known issue on some devices?
Sounds like a battery problem.
after some more searching around, it seems it was the battery causing my troubles, thanks for the tip! ordered a new one, it'll be good to have a backup battery

I hope you're playing around.
You were given several suggestions ranging from cleaning the port to replacing the port - did any of them work?
I'm glad one person got his solution with battery replacement. But thats not stealing. Stealing would be several members turning the thread into a discussion about multiwindows or bricking by flashing an N7000 kernel.
We're on task and waiting for your update. . .
Still not fixed got my usb port changed and still nothing won't charge unless u turn iy off

That's some good life there. How do you like dealing with the extra weight of that? Also is the case a rubber feel or smooth? I'm trying the ZL 3000 because I wasn't sure about the extra bulk and read it covers the speaker.

just returned the one I bought on amazon. I think I could handle the size and weight (even though they are substantial), I couldn't handle the loss of signal due to the battery covering the antennas. They claim there isn't signal loss but it was very obvious.

Yeah I see from your screenshots you appear to have great signal. Does this battery effect the speaker since it covers it?

It does but only makes it not as loud but getting 5 day of use is OK with the speaker not being as loud

The battery has a small area cut into it to path the speaker out the bottom of the phone. It sounds pretty loud to me, but I will have to swap back to the original battery to check the difference.
I have gone 3 days of pretty medium usage. Its definitely an impressive battery!

I have no clue but the only time I really see the percent go back up is after heavy use. I got over it by knowing how long my battery last on average.

Yep same here through my second cycle now. When it gets to 1% I power off remove battery and replace and power on to 4-15%. Normally run a battery waster app to drain. Been meaning to exercise same principle to charging but lazy about it. When I get through 5 cycles I'll probably check out one of the calibration apps. Crossing fingers...

How much more weight is it... was thinking about getting one... but would love if the had decent cases for it. Currently stock battery with the neo hybrid case.

Its pretty hefty but I've gotten used to it. I would say it triples weight and thickness of the phone. IMO peace of mind knowing my phone will always last all day no matter what I throw at it is worth it. Lol coming from a iPhone I had "battery shock".

LOL yep my stock battery and 2 extra hyperions are going to be collecting lots of dust.
This thing is a beast! This is first day after initial charge. Pretty heavy use. Stock battery would still be going as well but with only maybe 25% instead of 77%.
I did notice that my percentage actually goes up by 1% occasionally even I turn screen off. You guys get that as well?
My battery has gone from 63% to 67% in the last hour. Lol

Hello,
Recently I was trying to make my own charging cord. I found some old charger and stripped it. On the charger there were 3 wires. a green, black, and white one. I then plugged my phone in and tried it out. I believe I used the green and white wire but Im not completely sure. After connecting the wires a spark flew from it. After that I checked my phone and now it won't turn on. I am wondering if there is anything that could fix this.
You probably either fried the battery or shorted out the logic board. You could try another battery first(which requires partial disassembly). Otherwise, if its the logic board, you may as well buy another DNA.
Sounds like you borked the hardware. Does it charge when you plug an official charger in. If there is no sign of life at all probably bricked it.

No I've tried charging it with its original charger. I may just buy a new phone or try replacing the battery. It depends how easy it is to replace. Any other ideas?
Thanks

There are 2 possibilities. Either the battery fried or the entire board fried. Hopefully it's the battery because to get a new board put in is about 270$. I would try replacing the battery first and see how it goes.

I would think it would be difficult since it's under everything else on the phone. The battery also has strong adhesive holding it to the housing. I've seen people bend it trying to get it out so it's in there pretty good. I can't imagine it would be easy.
