So I contacted these guys via Amazon who promise this is the real capacity. They are responding saying the core is high voltage and high capacity. Anyone tried them?
dont trust it
Please be brave enough try it and report back...I'm tired waiting for zero lemon...

@jboodram, please post a review once you'll receive the battery

They might not be lying about the 3300 mAH but it's definitely not gonna last as much as you think because of the battery quality.
I VERY much doubt it will last more than the normal 2600 one.

I really hope it lasts better than the original. I don't expect 3300mah worth of battery life but atleast equivalent to 2800-2900mah...I currently get around 5:30hrs screen time... if this gives me 6:30hrs I'll be satisfied

I will... to be honest I was afraid to buy it but I know everyone else is afraid also so I thought I should just give it a try so if its worth it you all would know... it isn't cheap tho I paid $30.

Soo I finally put the battery through a full day of use and I must say that it does not live up to being a 3360mah battery, with that being said @ $26, it does hold up for about the same time as stock so I'll continue to use it as a back up. If I had to make this purchase again I wouldnt. You can get 2 anker batteries for the same price and they will last the same...
Here are some screenshots of my usage. I've been on wifi most of the time and about 3 hours or so on 3g. My usage involved lots of facebook, whatsapp, frequent web browsing using boat browser, a few youtube vids and a couple short calls...

Thanks so much for testing this out, I was contemplating on purchasing this also....I guess there's no other solution for longer battery life that would entail squeezing in a bigger capacity battery in the same amount of space.

I guess so too.. I would wait on one company though. Zero lemon may be releasing a 3000mah battery for the s4 and their batteries do not disappoint. I had their 2300mah battery for the s3 and it gave me around 1 hour extra screen time with about 3 hours extra standby. Zero lemon is highly praised in this forum aswell. To bad that battery isn't released yet...
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
I reached out to Zero Lemon today but they only replied back saying, "Thank you for your interest. For Galaxy S4 we only have the 7500mAh battery at the moment." ... doesnt seem like they have any future plans for a 3000mah but who knows...maybe...hopefully.
I ordered the zl 3000 mah from amazon yesterday

Xiaomi hongmi / red rice

Hey fellow xda members I have decided to open a forum for this phone since I have bought this device recently and seeing that there is a clear lack of support for this device I was hoping to encourage some development seeing that this is a relatively affordable device to purchase much like the moto g. I will upload a tutorial on how to root this device and how to swap the internal memory with the external to have greater app storage. I would be happy to answer any of you guys questions thanks.

xiaomi supplier
i bought my gadgets from a 3rd party seller, namely IBuyGou (my customer referral here). got my xiaomi hongmi wcdma phones delivered by dhl surprisingly fast. signed up, placed the order, got my two mobiles in a three days' time. yaaaaaay!
the IBG team is quite a pleasure to deal with. good skype and fb customer support. kind, gentle, friendly people. and above all, they are advertised as being one of the very few authorized xiaomi eshops around. until that day when professional big asian mobile brands (like xiaomi, the so-called 'apple of china') consider wide opening their gates to western markets, well, until then we have to thank those hardworking small chinese sellers who satisfy our need for perfect genuine hi-tech electronics @ best prices, such beautiful powerful toys as xiaomi, hongmi, and... all kind of other MI jewels shining out there for all of us :laugh:
Its good to know that there are trust worthy online shops out there

Antelife.com simply the best
Xiaomi Red Rice Hongmi is a very good choice for a China brand mobile. Price is right, and the brand is very well known. Already LeWa ROM is being officially supported on Hongmi. Same as ZTE, Lenovo, Amoi, Jiayu. Unfortunately the phone only supports 900/2100 WCDMA and 900/1800/1900 GSM. Amazing for a phone in 2014 to not include 850GSM.
850GSM is frequency off each country?
Screen protector foil and case
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good screen protection (foil) and a case for the Hongmi?
Thanks.
There are quite a few cases online just have a look ?

Tablet ideas

I need ideas on a new tablet. My wife has this note 8.0 which is rather nice to me but... if I was gonna spend $200-250 is there anything else I should get rather than a note 8.0?
I love custom roms.. I'd love an IR blaster.. larger screen is a maybe.. I'd love it to last two years before abandon by the community.
I don't want a 7in really.. they feel cheap. I don't want less than 1.5gb ram, I don't need 3/4g- simply wifi
Thanks for the ideas!

I recommend the LG GPad. Out of the tablets I've had its my favorite and Newegg has it for around $230 :good:
Wow OK after looking that up it looks exactly like what after!
A couple of concerns.. Just from reading the new egg reviews people complain of over heating, the brightness messing with image quality and battery life being terrible.
Are these fixed with just flashing CM11? I've know LG software to be terrible usually so I'd point fingers there before the hardware.
Still open for suggestions! But that's amazing spec wise for the price. Wonder if Best Buy will price match it lol

I've had no issues aside from the low battery life. The brightness isn't the greatest but its still perfectly acceptable once you get it above 40.
I've tried a lot of the different roms and actually for me the best is the flashable stock kitkat that's available on the forums. All the others had various issues wifi, gps and general bugs. While the stock isn't the overall fastest its very stable and I still get almost 27000 in antutu.
Best Buy will pricematch Newegg but their running very low on supply.
I bought the GPad and the Samsung 8.4 Pro at the same time and kept the Gpad as the Samsung killed my eyes with the brightness and very small text. I think you would be happy with the Gpad :good:
Edit is your name Nathan?
Yes my name is Nathan. I've had the handle of talk2nate since about '93. Not very cool these days but its mine everywhere lol.
I'll have to see if they have that pad in stock. They offer a 15 day return so maybe I'll try it.

Reason I asked is because my name is Nathan also You may want to grab one quick as I noticed Newegg went out of stock right after I replied last but I just tried adding multiples and looks like they have 4 in stock. Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to ask me.
Well I tried but they were all gone. Amazon has four left but they are $272... maybe I should just get something else :/
Ideas? 200-300 range?

The way he's explaining it is that he wants something for free illegally/morally wrong (trade it online claiming its perfect to scam someone )

if you look around very hard, do some investigation, spend some time with it, you might possibly find a way to do it. ive seen things a lot less possible to happen, actually happen.

Too late for this phone, but mobile phone insurance might be a good idea for the next one
The only way I can think to get a new one for free or nearly free is to get one on a subsidised contract, but then you'll be paying it off over 12, 18 or 24 months.

Art vs. Dalvic

I've seen a few threads with this question already asked but there doesn't seem to be an enqual consensus about the topic. Is there anyone who has ran art for a considerable amount of time that can tell me if its really worth it? I've been on the fence for awhile.
Ive used art fot about 2 months and I am really really happy with it.. people say they face errors with it but for me it worked perfect

how's battery life been for you?
Very good... switching between apps is much smoother and battery stays...
I generally don't play heavy games but I use whatsapp.. my phone gives me a good amount of standby .... charge it in the morning and you'll have to plug in around 8 or 9 at night
