Help My Hyperion 4200 w/ NFC arrived.

[outerub]

Read that some users experienced charging issues.... fortunately none here. Factory Samsung charger took it from 56% out of the box to 100% with a niiiice green LED in about 2 hours 15 minutes. Going to follow recommended procedure and go 12 hours for the first charge ....

I've been getting upwards of 24 hours on my stock battery w/ the following settings:

No automatic Facebook updates.
JuiceDefender set to hourly connectivity during the day and no connectivity while I'm asleep.
Gmail set to hourly updates.
No WIFI ever... I have 6 gigs of data that I rarely encroach upon.
Screen brightness set to about 50%. Good even in bright daylight.
No animations.
Black background.
4G speed.
Vibration off.
Touch sounds off.

I use the phone, calendar, text, and Gmail regularly throughout the day and don't miss the bells and whistles. Internet, facebook and youtube from time to time.

Looking forward to the 4200's lifespan with these settings.

I really like the "heft" the phone has with the new battery....feels like you've got something substantial in your hand as opposed to the light plasticky feel with the original battery.

My Seidio Surface Extended case with Innocell battery cover should complete the picture perfectly when it arrives.

After a day of normal (normal for me anyway) use ....

I have it, and it's awesome. I get 6 hours on screen time with 75% brightness, no power savings, 4G, blue tooth, and gps blasting all day.

I can't kill it from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep.

Only thing I don't like is the back is slippery! Crazy slippery. Can't even prop the phone up on a table top leaning against something because it will slip on its back.

The phone is still slim with this battery on... No bigger than any other phone that has a case on it.

You're right. This thing is like a bar of wet soap. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Seidio Battery Cover & Case. Should relieve the slippery issue ...

..... aaand the next morning.

Keeping connectivity off with Juice Defender at night really seems to help.

The second night ....

Third morning ....

Silly question but why do u need a battery life with nfc when the phone already has it?

That battery is impressive. I get 10-12 hours use on the stock one.

I'm not sure what you mean .... Do you mean "Why do I need an extended battery with NFC when the phone already has an NFC battery in it?"

Fourth morning ....

.... and finally ....

I figured that 5% was low enough so I plugged it in.

Three days, five hours .... I'm impressed. Now, my usage pattern is light to moderate at best but I'd have no problem hitting two full days with heavy use.

the stock battery has NFC, but you have to be careful with after market ones because they dont all have it

NFC is in the battery, not the phone... Correct?

Correct.
