Anyone have one of these? I purchased one for my Samsung Galaxy III as I was getting 8 hours of text/talk time and just a little of social media and email, but as soon as I did any kind of streaming, plus the above mentioned, I would probably get about 4-5 tops.
So I purchased a 4500 mAh extended battery and two days ago got it in the mail. It already had a 50% charge when I plugged it in and so I decided to drain it all the way down to 0 as suggested. Well, I put in the battery around 4 in the afternoon and taxed the battery doing facebook uploads, instagram, twiter, streamed music from pandora, browsed this forum on it and it finally pooped out at 6:00 am in the morning. Crazy.
So I charged it back to 100% and at 8:30 am unplugged it. The battery lasted that whole day and half of the day yesterday. About a good 36 hours.
Anyhow, I recommend if anyone has an Android smartphone picking one of these up. They're only 25 bucks on Amazon or eBay and it comes with a custom back case so that the larger battery will fit. I got the white since that's the color of my phone. One of the things that I didn't like about the S 3 was that it was too thin, almost credit card thin. After installing the extended battery the phone now fits perfectly in my hand too. Win/Win!
