You had 4 hours of screen on? Then your battery life is awesome. Otherwise provide a screenshot from that.
Btw, there's a dedicated topic for this.

That's good battery. Most of us reaching 4 hours of screen should have <= 20% battery left

I don't use auto brightness but my brightness is only at about 15-20% of the way along the slider and I get over 5 hours screen on time. I'm on li8 with siyah kernel.

Turn on automatic brightness....then reboot
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Well, but auto brightness is too dim indoors.
I usually keep brightness on 50% indoors, but when i go outside, i set brightness on max.

install better battery stats and find out if you have any out of the ordinary kernel/partial wakelocks

Interesting problem:battery

Hi friends, I have a big problem.When I shut down my s3 and open it after 8 hours, my battery discharged about % 12 -15 t,that is, my S3 is discharging when it shut down. Now i ama using Turkbey rom v17 but i have the same problem with 4.0.4 and 4.1.1
What can you say about my problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It doesn't discharge when off, it's a problem with battery calibration when on. Try to shut it off and on immediately and you'll see the same.

Wow, that's super weird... Is it possible that you have too many programs running in the background? I downloaded the battery saver app and it keeps my battery from going on the fritz, might help you too
İ have not a problem with my battery life only with discharging when off ...

Are you serious? Please define heavy usage.
I barely last about 3 - 4 hours with my "heavy usage "

Well, that pretty heavy usage...
I can do that intentionally by repeatedly backup restore system in recovery, 3d game with all Wi-Fi, GPS, BT, highest brightness...etc
But my daily usage costs me about 250% of battery as I have 3 battery with me...

Ah well overclocked so it uses more battery. Playing games while listening to internet radio on 3g takes a large toll on batteries.. just bought a portable charger to compensate for it
As for the original post, I take it you left it overnight, or haven't used it much for a good few hours. 10-20% drain is normal for a 8hr standby, unless you have battery draining apps (most IM apps, google now, gmapps etc)

Thanks for all the reply.. really helpfull i got a difrent question a really noob 1.. i root my phone.. now how do i remove the pre install apps on my s3?? Do i need a specific apps.. as for the battery issue ny cable already start to act funny it took me 4hrs to get to 81% from 43% gonna change the cable and see if it works.. huuu

One method is to navigate using a file explorer to /system/app and delete apks you don't want. Not the stock one. Use astro or es file explorer. Titanium backup is a very useful tool for backing up apps and app data. Can also be used to uninstall system apps. Both methods require root permission.
As for which apps you can delete, search for safe apps to delete on xda or google and you should come across a thread.

Battery drain on stock

Hello. I have such a problem, namely my battery drains hard :S Using 3 g internet it can't survive more than 5 hours ( I admit that the screen us turned if for maximum 50% of this time... Is it normal??
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
Also on wifi 1 hour is like 20% baterry :S It sucks because even my LG l9 has better battery time with much larger screen
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
Obviousely screen and mediaserver consume most of it.
You were playing a game or watching a video?
By some tests I did a 2.5 hours HD movie on youtube wifi drained 51-56% battery. Screen brightness,adaptive power saving mode, indoors.
My standby drain is around 1% per hour with wifi on.(no data)
So I think it is normal.
Only used fb messanger

try calibrating your battery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=lv
or reset battery stats manually thru cwm recovery.
