i have installed a 7800mah ANKER battery in my i9500, but when i put it on charge DU BATTERY still shows the battery as 2600mah?
The phone will also show the normal stats. i want the phone to display battery usage as per the new battery.i get about 3days out of it with normal usage so it is well better than the old battery.
How do i get my phone 'pick up' the bigger battery?
thank you
needed a battery for my TMO GS5 and was tired of getting junk off ebay so my buddy sent me link to this battery and im so happy he did. battery arrived on time and packaging was good and i discharged battery to 2% and recharged it to 100% without putting a load on it using a cradle charger then i was able to test it against my stock samsung OEM battery and i was surprised to see better stats by about 6% longer life. sure the tests are not 100% accurate but my use was done in a extra GS5 i own so the testing was very close and for only $16.99 its worth it even without the better stats. if your looking for a OEM (stock) replacement battery this is for you or if your just looking for a extra battery to keep in pocket ect. this is perfect.

its called Anpower.. the only thing that pushes me away from the Anker 6440 MAH battery is the back cover being black (and the ZL battery is too heavy for me, i owned it for my s5 and its a brick..even though performance is amazing but it is too heavy)
, i want to have a white one on my black note 4 , here is the link

also, upon getting any extended battery , is fast charging damaging for the battery or not ?
Previously having owned the zerolemon case for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 I knew what to expect from them and they didn't disappoint. The Pixel XL is a great phone but the battery life leaves something to be desired. Zerolemon to the rescue!
The case comes in the standard packaging with the bag and the box with the case inside. Installation is super simple, just slide the phone on to the USB C port on the battery/case and slide the rubber surround over it. The battery has an on off switch on the back and 4 LEDs for battery status.
I charged the battery for 12 hours as per the instructions and put the phone in. With a heavy load on the phone, lots of screen usage and the VPN running I got a little over 24 hours on the battery.
There are two ways to use the battery case you can either leave it on and trickle charge the phone constantly like I did or drain the phone down and turn it on each time to charge it.
The pixel XL has bottom firing speakers and zerolemon addressed this by diverting the sound through the front of the case. You don't lose any volume at all. The case charges via USB C and the port is linked straight through so you can charge/sync as needed.
Zerolemon is known for quality products and great value and this is no exception of you're looking for a way to extend your phones life when you're away from a charger this is it.
Case will not turn off until battery drains.
Any ideas on why this is happening or how to shut the case off? Even when I pull the phone out of the battery case it is still charging.

I have not had that issue. the phone doesn't sleep while in the case, even though it's off, but as soon as I take it out things return to normal

1st Impressions
I use my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for work, play, and family. I'm told that I am a power user, especially since I'm lucky if I can get more than 10-14 hours out of the battery before I have to charge it. Even With my Note 8, I was lucky to get 8-10 hours. While the Note 9 has a 4,000 mAh battery (the main reason I got this phone), I still need to carry an external battery pack and USB cable if I am out and about and taking pictures and video. I wanted another option and found this battery case. Having the battery built into the case so I don't have to carry an extra battery pack and USB cable makes this worth it. The blue color looks great, and the case fits my phone like a glove. The texture on the back is just smooth enough to feel nice without making me feel like the phone will slip out of my hand. The buttons still work as designed (in some cases interfere with this) and the case still works excellent when removing or inserting the S-Pen. I especially like that with the case on, if I plug the case it, the case and phone are both charging.
Battery
Now for the battery part. I noticed when I turn on the battery pack, my phone says fast charging, but then after a few minutes says cable charging, which makes sense as this is only a 1.5A charging output spec. To test the case, I unplugged my phone at 6 am on Sep 8th and used it as normal all day without ever charging it. By 8 pm, my phone was down to 25%. Most of the time my phone would be dead at this point, but I guess that I did not use it as much since I was off work and getting fewer emails. I powered on the case (which I fully charged beforehand) and set my phone down. I did not touch my phone at all while it was charging from the case. Not wanting to leave it charging overnight as the battery was getting rather warm, I turned off the battery case at 9:30 pm, my phone was at 55%, but I also noticed the battery pack was already down to 2 LED lights (50%?!?!); based on that, I should have only used about 1,500-2,000 mAh of juice. Even if the battery case was down to 50% (2,500 mAh), that should be enough to fully charge my phone when I get up, so I powered the phone off.
When I got up at 4 am, my phone was still at 55% and the battery pack at 50%, so I turned the battery pack back on. Unfortunately, the battery pack only charged my phone to 82% before the battery pack died. While I do not have the ability to test the mAh capacity, based on the math above, it does not seem to be a 5,000 mAh battery as that should have been enough juice to fully charge my phone and have a tiny bit left over; not run out at 82%. I have read online that you need to duty-cycle the battery in the case; let it die fully and then fully charge it so it can calibrate to a full charge.
After fully charging the case (after letting it fully die), I am pleased to report that this will fully charge a dead Note 9, so it is at least 4,000 mAh.
I left my Note 9 off the charger all day yesterday and last night; at 7:01 am, I got the "Battery at 15%" warning, so I turned on Power Saving Mode with background data turned off, and the screen to only 25% brightness. I shut off GPS, Wifi, and Bluetooth and then put the phone into the case and turned it on. Around 9:45am-ish, my phone buzzed and was at 100% with 1 LED left on the case. I estimate this is about 3,000-3,300 mAh worth of juice. By noon, I was back down to 75%, turned on the case and it too me back to 95% before the case died. Based on that, this is close to a 5,000 mAh case if my math is correct. The full duty-cycle was needed and made a large difference in the charge available for my phone.
Things to be aware of:
The battery may not be a true 5,000 mAh, but it's still worth the price and convenience.
If you have small hands, the fingerprint scanner will be hard to use.
There is no data pass-through, but that is advertised.
The phone may say it's fast charging, but I doubt it.
This thing is thick, like 3/4" thick, but not too thick.
Pros:
Great fit
Does not add that much weight
Build quality feels solid
Color is beautiful
Does not interfere with the holes or S-Pen
Charges quickly
Charges phone and case at the same time
Buttons work great, better than others cases I've used
Raised edge and top and bottom, so the screen does not touch table when placed face down
Cons:
Does not seem to be a true 5,000 mAh battery
Thickness (about 3/4" thick), not really a con as this should be expected
No data pass-through
May be difficult to use the fingerprint scanner for smaller hands
Conclusion: I like this, and it is very worth it. I highly recommended this for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

There will be some loss charging from a battery but if it is rated 5000 I think you should get full charge from it.

That was one point I thought about but was not sure. After a few discharges and charges of the case, it will fully charge the phone with a tiny bit of juice life over.
