Why does this Battery drop my cellphone signal from 5 bars to sometimes 3 bars? It doesn,t do that with the stock Battery just with this one.

The battery is so big that when it is powered on, it creates an electromagnetic field that disturbs the sensitive antanna. The battery also comers a portion of the antanna. I have the same problem!

I personally didn't have any drop in signal strength with my experience either. I do see some elements on the back of my native OEM back cover (which I suspect is an antenna) that the extended-life battery cover does not have.The OEM back cover looks similar to this one:http://hsto.org/storage2/2b5/522/72a/2b552272a45d7e02cc631a41273e1c6f.jpgIt could be that your vicinity to a tower is far enough to where this makes a difference.

I don't know why it dropped to three bars,but it doesn't affect the performance of my phone anyway reception seems the same way as 5 parts bar's

I don't know what to tell you...other than this battery works great (better than OEM stock battery) with my HTC sensation 4G.

It has nothing to do with your phone. You have to put the battery in the slot and slide it down a llittle so that it is secure. It should then start lighting up. The problem is it lights up all the time randomly. So battery was dead in a week. I thought it would only light up when I got a call or text, however that was not the case.

My phone is working well with the new battery. I accidently dropped it in the toilet on the way to Lewiston, Id and couldn't get a battery locally. Hope this helps you as I'm not good with electronics. They've passed me by!!

Hi James. I need to know what problem you're having with it to know if it has been improved. I'm very happy with the one I have. I can't believe how long the batteries last and except for the occasional signal drop out they work fine for me. I think the signal drop out problem I'm having could be related to the volume setting on my phone

Poor, it reduces quickly after a few calls and messages. I have many features turned off most of the time, and can still see 10 and 20% battery life reductions in under an hour. Same for lots of surfing. I always have a charger with me. I am curious if maybe a new battery would improve the situation, however I have olny owned the phone for 3 months.

Factually, I do not know. You need to ask Arris. My guess is that it is not defective. It is intended to keep your phone active in a power failure. The time would depend on the number of phones it is powering and where it is in its charge/discharge cycle when the failure occurred. Also, initialization is strange. It arrives with no charge, goes through some sort of cycle back to no charge, and then takes several days to charge.

I got the replacement battery from Amazon, works alright, but have found that the batteries on this phone don't last much more than a day. Not sure if is a battery issue or phone issue.

I got one of these because the battery that came with the phone now doesn't even last a full day anymore (it's almost 2 years old). The battery I received had noticeable wear on the terminals and it doesn't last much longer than my current one. The one I received was not new.

Um. Sorry for reply back so late too you. Daniel. Um. I had that problem with my phone, and thought is was the Gorilla Gadgets battery. It pissed me off. But you might have too take the phone down and tell them that you need another head peace and a cord to get a better charge. In the mean try this. Take the battery out of your phone, and wait for 60 seconds then try the battery again. Let me know what happens. I will check back your reply.

Not at all. Your carrier doesn't care whether or not you have 1 bar or 5 bars on your phone. This enhances the signal. On my Sprint here at the office, which is notorious for bad reception, we went from 3 bars and 3G to 3 bars and 4G. Your mileage may vary.

It's the battery bloating. Take the battery out and put it on a flat surface, if it rocks it's bloated. I've had 3 of these, all replacements do this after awhile. They need to do some better QC on their products. They said they are now doing a review of the QC on this, and can't send me another replacement, so they are going to just refund me.

That just happened today on my phone (i have the Marbl). It went like that the whole day. I was like "WTF?" But then I did what S. Thompson said, which was taking out the battery and putting it back in, and it worked.

Gene,I'm not sure which battery that was because I made an error and ordered the wrong battery from them for the phone that I had. I returned the battery ( they were good about that and I explained it was my error), I paid for shipping and they credited me for the battery. I then placed an order for the correct battery. As it turned out the problem was with the phone not the battery. They accepted that return same as the first. I threw out that phone and bought something else. I guess I can't answer your question but they will definitely work with you if there is a problem.

I don't know! I haven't had any problems with my battery. I had mine since oct. Perhaps you can have them shipped another one ? The only things is the shipping cost more than the battery. Hopefully it's not the device. I had my LG phone for years I'm surprised it still works.

My office is a black hole (bomb shelter) so we automatically have zero signal. Very few times if you lay your phone a certain way you'll get one bar that shows up off and on so I can send a couple texts before the bar goes away again. With this case on there was no choice or hope of getting at least that one little bar. Lol but as far as out of my office every day use nope! Signal was just fine no issues.

Unfortunately, I can't help on this one. After I received the new battery - ahead of schedule, I might add - I determined that it was not a battery failure which caused my cell phone to fail. It was the phone itself. Sorry I cannot help.
