No I bought the 4200. I am having troubles getting the phone to recognize the new battery. I have reset battery stats but when it charges fully and take it off 4 minutes later its down to 67% so I am trying to get a trick to work.

Ok, if ur trick works please let me know. Very interested. Thanks
I also got a 4200 and it doesnt drop that rapidly but it does drop faster than it should i cleared bat stats when it was empty so it would relearn what the full charge was but it only helped a little it still went down10% in an hour
I ordered mine from USA seller 15 bucks works great .. my only problem is the wall charger that came with mine I'm clueless about .. other then that love it!!!!

I agree. I need a wall charger! My trick is to charge it until it says 100% unplug it then reboot. Plug it back up and wait on 100%. Drain it fully then wipe stats. See if it works. If it doesn't repeat a couple times.

Unless you fully charge it, then it drains like a regular one.. What I have seen. It's quite irritating, honestly. If I could do it over again I would have bought the double and the wall charger. I think I will do that next. It will come in handy for me being gone all the time and the wife CONSTANTLY on her phone.. She kills charging ports. It's sad.
So here is 2 screenshots. They are from 2 completely different day's . You can see my battery percent at the top. And yes I use my phone very heavily. 3800 mah. My stock battery only lasted about 5 hrs for me. I had to charge it about 3 times a day. With 15 percent on the battery you can play on the Internet for another 3 hrs with 100 percent brightness and it's still not dead.

And what I did to get it to drain properly was charged it on the wall charger to 100. Then unplugged it. Plugged it back and charge till it showed full again . Put it in the phone and used the app battery calibration to clear battery stats immediately. I used the phone with out charging until it was about to die. Then charged it uninterrupted until 100. And then just used it normally. I swear it's still getting better. Like with every use it lasts longer. Definitely worth the extra bulk because I use my phone so much the stock battery could barely make it thru 5 hrs.

My daughter and I both own a Warp, and we're both brutal on the battery. I have bluetooth on all day and make calls and listen to music through it for 10-12 hours a day on top of heavy web browsing. She may be worse since she's also playing games.
Needless to say, the stock battery was only worth about 4-5 hours tops.
With the extended battery, we both just charge before bed at night and are good to go until bed time again. And it's nice.
The only thing I don't like is the wall charger. Good thing we don't have a use for it I guess.
I am having a problems getting the battery to calibrate after running through a couple full discharge/recharge events. The battery meter at the top of the screen seems ok, but the standby time reported from the Settings menu is SNAFU:
It may be worth noting that I don't get cell service at home and I hear that hurts battery life. Even so, I know for a fact that this phone wouldn't die in 6.5 hours on the current charge on standby or even while being used.
Got my 4200 battery today....HOLY SH!T THIS THING IS HUGE!! Lol. I knew it was gonna be bit but crap! Well if it lasts me 2 days i guess its worth it.
man if you get two days out of it you must only be using it for calls and texts i got a 4200 and its great and lasts me the day but not two but im also heavy on the internet and gaming so maybe itll last enough for you but i recomend doing the battery stat cycle listed above it worked well for me

Mostly i am email, calls/texts and stuff for work. So hoping 2 days. I will do the battery cycle tonight.
I guarantee you can make it 2 day's once it's cycle is set right.. Mine is 3800 mah.. Check out this battery stats.. And I've used it a good amount on the Web and calls. Still have 63 percent..
Show where you have charged and I'll believe you. Lol
Well if you check your battery stats and compare, it only shows the time it's been on the battery.. If you charge at all it will start your on battery time over
OK so I got almost 3 days out of 4200! Bought mine off amazon. I just realized I should post screen shots but I just flashed to noob from this morning lol. Ill start over and post before it goes dead again.
There is nothing wrong with that maninblack.. I deff took almost 2 day's of not using my phone heavy (which was hard for me) just to post a screen shot of what the battery is capable of...
I was at 1 day and 11 hrs with 60 percent left. Stock battery can't make it 10 hrs w/o using it at all

I was the same way with my stock battery. Texts phone calls and some web browsing but I was lucky to make it 10 hours.
Hello guys I new here ...I would like to ask if there is a difference between charging the extended battery with the standard charger that the ZTE came with or with the new charger that come with the new battery... I'm asking cause I'm going to buy this combo 1 extended 3800mAh battery +cover+charger for $14.98 (from China) but the charger is different from the standard one.... sorry for the silly question... and thank you!!!
Just a reminder to users purchasing these. Charge them correctly and get the most out of your battery!! For the first charge I recommend wiping battery stats and powering the device down. Charge it while off until it says full, then wipe battery stats again, power down and rinse and repeat. Do this until it indicates it is full immediately after plugging it in. Then you should be gtg!!
Im sorry about silly questions but I am new about all this, when you said "wipe battery stats"... how do I do this? I am already root, please reply I just bought my extended battery and would like to get the most out of it... thank you!!!
