Hello guys, I bought my s3 from t mobile Germany and so far i had only Problems with.
I had the Software Problem in wich instead of 3.4 mAh He consumed 34.
Solved with the help ffrom bala gamer thread.
I have miui Rom with syah Kernel. No widget whatsoever juice defender premium, brightness on lowest posible, wifi when posible...
I am so angry on my Device Because a friend of mine got the phone from Vodafone and He was with battery on 32%. was using the phone 3 days 12 hours and something about 5 hours of onscreen tine...
My Best was 3 hours on screen time and around 14 - 15 standby. I am Not a heavy User i just like to Chat alot so i am on messenger Facebook all time...
Is this normal? Maybe the whole stocklot from t mobile is somehow defekt Because I have another Friend that bought the Device From t mobile and He got He Same issue... Is is posible to be some Kind of Software Problem? I Checkd alot of roms and Kernels with almost the Same Result.
Thanks alot dudes

I am also a new S3 user (migrated from an Iphone), and have been plagued with the battery issue. However, I have come to realize that you can't have everything with charging twice a day. You need to turn off the GPS, and set the WIFI to go to turn off when the Phone is in standby. I have also turned on the Power Savings menu, but will do tests to see if that is really needed. So far 30% Discharge in 5 hours....
Here is a link to a guy listing all his settings ( http://www.samsunggalaxys3forum.com...ttings-worth-try-those-poor-battery-life.html ).... Experiment and make your own call. Unfortunately, you have to be very aware what you have turned on... or at least that has been my experience after the last few days...
Facebook is known to cause some battery drain. Anyway, you should install BetterBatteryStats (search the foruns, there's a huge topic about it). BBS will give you precious information about what is using your battery and how much it's using it.
Nevermind what I said... 4 hours today with "normal" usage and I am at 45%. The S3 is a battery hog compared to the Iphone.
I installed this morning bbs, ill post the prinț screen when i got my battery empty. An update i just bought a 4300 mili ampers battery and i still cant get the Stats from other members even with this.
I forgot to say GPS is off all the time aswell and wifi only when i need IT.

I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times and I have searched up and down the forums but have found no fix for my battery problem.
I always have my battery at the dimmest level. Mostly only text, the occasional 5 min phone call and web browse here and there. Yet when i look into the battery use the display is always at atleast 96% ive never seen it less than that. But i kno that it has to be something other than just the display though.
I stoped using beautiful widgets, and froze media hub (i read that it eats battery in the bg) recently ive been monotoring my system through system panel.
As of now system panel tells me that System Processes is at 5.7% and system at 2.6% The next highest thing is Swype at 0.4% and android.process.acore at 0.2% the rest of the things are at 0.0%
I was thinking that it might be the battery or just the phone itself...
Edit: im sorry idk why the app didnt post all my post <=(

Having your screen use that much (as a percent) isn't necessarily a bad thing. It means that everything else is using minimal power. You also shouldn't be checking your stats for useful info within moments of turning it on. Give it a whole day of use and check again. Your screen will have used less % after a day but it is totally normal for it to be the largest user of power.
So then what could be causing the battery drain?

How much drain?
You should expect to get 4-5 hours of use from your Vibrant. Total time could range from four hours to several days, which is what you hear people saying in most battery threads. What they often don't state is how much time the phone is actually in use and whether you get 5 hours or 24 hours before you hit 0% battery you probably are using the phone (screen on for anything, or screen off while listening to music or talking.) for 4-5 hours.
So is your phone getting less use then that? If so then you may have some other issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848207
The links are very informative
Of actual use, not just standy by I get just about 4 hours. Usually under 4.
And that link looks pretty interesting

Fast Battery Drain
Bad News Everyone!
I have spent the last 3 days searching here and other forums trying to find out why my battery has been horrible. My battery goes to around 30% after only 3 or 4 hours of very slight use (2 or 3 texts and checking email once).
I have done two complete battery drain to full charge with the phone off the past two days to try and get a better reading.
The history of the drain, at the end of November I rooted and installed RyanZA OCLF, rooted, and lag fixed, no issues. Installed the basics of rooted (busybox, superuser) and SetCPU.
SetCPU presented problems with not coming out of sleep and freezing after reboots. The battery would give about 6 hours of moderate use. I played around with settings, but ultimately removed it and when I did my battery was lasting 3 hours longer with moderate use, facebook, twitter, browser, 20-30 mins of gaming. From 12:00 pm (leaving work) to 9:00 at night (leaving school) with 35-40% left before I got home.
About 4 days ago, my battery was draining very quickly. Wake up, unplug phone at fully charged, get ready for work, grab phone to leave for work and I am down to 90% after only 20 minutes of standby. When it use to have it around 96% by the time I got to work, about an hour with light use. Seeing this problem I went back and looked at updates and apps that I had. The only thing I could think was Launcher Pro, but no one else has reported battery drain issues and it wasnt showing in Battery Info.
In my attempts, I have done the following.
Went from 7 to 3 screens (one widget per screen)
Removed apps and bloatware with Titanium Backup
Doubled checked my account syncs, Facebook once a day, no twitter sync,
Screen brightness at ZERO
2 Battery Resets (fully drained to recharge phone off)
Installed Watchdog to find any heavy mem/cpu users, (none found)
And a crap-load of googling, forum searching (here and cyanogen forums), and I am still getting horrible battery life.
Today for example: Phone completey charged 10:30 am with only 3 texts sent and I am currently at 28% at 3:15. 5 hours of stand-by should not have drained that much battery. No GPS on.
If you have any ideas of what it could be, at this point I have alread bought a new battery, I would love to hear back.
edit: I am running stock rom 2.1-update1
I used to have poor battery life as well on stock 2.1 rom until i flashed the leaked jk6 update. Im now averaging about 25 hrs per charge with my phone pretty much always in use whether its calls, texting, music, gaming, web, movies ect...
Not to mention i also get 3g in places i havent before and faster DLs, less lag... This rom is awesome, i suggest giving it a try..

dubbz106, thanks for the advice. I have not had a huge desire to flash a new rom because my phone had performed pretty good. But with my G1 I was keeping it alive through cyanogenmods.
I have been moving closer to flashing and this new battery issue my push me to do it.
Can you link the thread for the rom?
Hi everyone master..
My tab's battery suddenly running out very fast..I put at home (59%) then go to work. Come back home (20%). About 12 hour 14 hour interval loss 39% without processing anything.
Also, the wifi,bluetooth GPS is disable. Do you know what is the problem. I didnt have this problem before and suddenly feel the battery getting die faster on last saturday.
Can i claim from Samsung? and what is the procedure of claiming?

Did you just flash a rom, kernel or model? You usually have to let it go through a few battery cycles before the true battery life is known.
You can also download better battery stats from xda, and cpu spy from play store to see your wakelocks and if your tab is deep sleeping

Hi Bro, thanks for your prompt reply.
FYI, I didn't do anything on my tab, is just that its battery suddenly drain very fast. I will try the suggestions of yours.
rapid battery drain
Hi,
I was having the same problem on my unrooted Tab 10.1 a couple of weeks ago. This progressed to it barely keeping up with the amount of battery discharge during use. At first I assumed the cord was wornout. B ut when new corde arrived no better. Now determined to be bad female end on tab itself as charging was positional, while it still worked at all. Upside? New tab arrives tomorrow. Hope this helps.
Am envious to those who managed to use their phone for more than a day. I bought this phone for about 2 weeks now and have done the normal full charge for 8 hours on the first time. Since then, I have fully charged twice and let the battery gone flat once. I have flashed Neutrino rom and currently Latveyit rom, and the battery last best 12 hours so far.
I charged the phone to 94% at about 7pm and just made two calls and two text messages. I did a navigation on maps for about 15mins max. By about 11pm, battery is at 57%, I play some games for about 10mins and went to bed, in the morning it's about 35%. I realise that the first 50% really goes fast and after that it's pretty decent until less than 20% and it drains fast again. Background application I have are the normal chat programs, whatsapp, viber, kakaotalk, skype and ebuddy. I have waze running in the background although I think it shuts off after 15mins. I have a mix of wifi and 3g usage, usually on wifi though. Is this normal?
edit: I also have Lookout antivirus running
All your chat programs running in the back ground prevent your device to sleep correctly, they wake it up every time they check if there is a new message.
Try to keep only the apps you use and try for each app to increase the check delay or disable it.
The antivirus does help.
2 weeks is a bit early to make a comment about the battery.
Download Battericalibration from the market and use it every shift rom change.
Read about topic on the forum but not become a maniac in "battery life".
If the screen stays lit for 5-7 hours the battery will be empty in like 7-8 hours. If you only speak 1 hour at it the battery will be empty in 3 days.
All depends on how you use it!
Sorry for bad english.

I thought that the chat programs will only cause problems if there are frequent messages since they're base on push?
2 weeks is early? How does that affect the battery's performance? I thought when it's new, it's most optimum and slowly degrades through time? The screen was off most of the time unless I was doing anything I mentioned or just checking the time which is just on, check then off. I don't think I am paranoid over the battery life, just curious how to get it over a day.

In my opinion the battery reaches her max in 3-4 weeks.
Download the app from the market and use it after every rom change.
I didn't called you paranoic, just that you mustn't be so worried.
My recomandation for a longer battery life is CM7.
GOOD DAY!
Read forum for more details.

You might try 1Ghz faux kernels as well. They seemed to have helped my battery life considerably.
Chek out what apps you have running in the background and be sure you set youre network yourself (my phone was always changing from 2g to 3g and after i selected the network myself it gave me a 1day + boost .
And you shoud know that the litium polimer batteryes are affected by cold temperatures.
I wish you luck!
I did use cm7 (neutrino) and got about the same battery life span as the current rom (laytveyit), and am currently on the faux 1ghz kernel. Anyway, I will see how it performance in the weeks to come and hopefully the newer version of the rom will improve it. I thought cold temperature helps preserve the battery's life span?
EDIT: Thanks for all the advice!

Lol all those chats are you problem imo
The "standard" apps used to figure out what's eating your batteries are:
BetterBatteryStats: for wakelocks
CpuSpy: to tell if you phone is going into deep sleep or not
Built in Battery Usage: to see a pretty graph and tell what's using the most juice
SystemTuner: I just recently started playing with this, lots of information.
Look up BetterBatteryStats here up XDA. There's plenty of threads on how to use it. Look up wakelocks.
so just got the s3, and i havent done a damn thing to it. within 6.5 hrs of nonsync and nongps bluetooth etc just wifi enabled, i have managed to get to 27%. and ive used it for maybe 10mins total during this span. i already minimized the brightness.
is my phone broken or wat??
Check if your phone is awake the whole time and if it is, use better battery stats to identify what is keeping your phone awake.
Btw this has been asked many a times by other users. Probably better if you search through the forums first

your screenshot shows 1hr21m on battery with 97% left. whats the problem? charge phone to 100%. use normaly until you get down to about 10% and then take a screenshot of system settings/battery and post.
Punctuation is your friend. One lonely question mark at the end doesn't count.
