Battery Drain Issue Galaxy s3 i9305 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have the above phone and have noticed the battery draining very quickly.
I installed advanced task manager pro but the battery still drains.
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Cheers

The main thing that I did was disabling background location updating.. I've never had to do it with any of my previous Galaxy S phones (1, 2 or 3non4g), but had to with my i9305.
Maps -> Settings -> Location Reporting -> Location Reporting (under background location reporting) -> Do not update your location.
Made a *huge* difference for me.

Do you mean loaction settings > it says location sharing is off.

Battery backup on Samsung Galaxy SIII, GT19300

Dear All
Do you have some suggestions on increasing battery backup on my Samsung Galaxy SIII - GT19300 model. It has become a battery guzzler, and does not last more than 5 - 6 hours after full recharge.
I have done factory reset once, after that it was better for about a week, and then again it is back to the same situation.
Help please. . . Thank you all for your help.
Kind regards,
Naren

Hi Jassi,
How to greenify the apps ? I have no idea, could you help me with this ?
How do you freeze apps which are not in use ?
Thanks for your help.

Thank you Foxy,
the phone itself is less than 6 months old, so i do not suspect any issue with battery. Most likely the apps are eating too much of power, I think if i can remove some of the bloated applications from Samsung, that would do the trick. But i am yet to come across the method of removing the Samsung applications.
I would want to try removing all un-necessary applications and see the results.
Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure about the phone app, but you should try disabling some Google services with disable service or use Greenify donation edition to hibernate play services.

there is no problem with google play services, the phone app stays awake all time, even i dont use it,, the device dont get to deep sleep because of that ?
Any help ?
The mobile data and screen brightness are the biggest drainer of battery life by a mile.
I would only turn the brightness up on my phone when i use it then turn it down later.
You can restrict background data, this one is the holy grail in battery conservation. Unless you specify otherwise a lot of the apps that you have on your phone like Facebook Twitter and many many more will constantly try to connect to their servers to look if there is anything new to report. To do this hit you settings, Connections, Data usage, menu, then put a tick in Restrict background data to force your phone to stop syncing continuously.
:good:

Screenshots are useless and not helpful, make your way over to the betterbatterystats thread and follow the op.

Using that app and finding the cause is a much better option than just returning to stock because it works.

I suggest you to install one or both of below free apps to monitor what is draining the battery:
- Battery Doctor(Battery Saver)
- GSam Battery Monitor
With the first one you can also set the option 'CPU Management=YES' so the phone can deep sleep
One the app is identify you can hibernate it to avoid running in background with the app 'Greenify'
Thanks.

So, it is better to test another ROM.
What about Slimrom? have you tested it?

Strange, maybe and issue with that specific S3 model.
I have tested CM, Slimkat, C-ROM, Carbon, Omegarom on S3 GT-I9300 and I haven´t had that issue,
battery life is better than the stock rom.
Maybe you can try to run a cleaning kernel script before flashing if not done yet.
Use the betterbatterystats app i mentioned before to find out whats causing the phone app to stay awake.
Its all good to say the phone app is keeping it awake but you need to find the trigger or service that is doing so. The screen shots you are providing are basic and do not provide this, you need a log from this app.

Spotify closes in the background

Hi all!
I have a Redmi Note 3 Pro running global ROM 7.1.8.0 and I am having issues with Spotify. It closes when it's running in the background. If I only open Spotify and don't use any other apps, it works fine. I have tried locking the Spotify apk but it didn't help.
Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks!
Same as mine
My Redmi Note 3 with v7.2.3.0 has similar problem, TuneIn radio always stops in the background. Any idea how to avoid this happen?

Hi meangreenie,
Your solution works perfectly for me. Thanks.

np, that memory optimisation setting seems to be hugely over aggressive

I had the same problem with practically every app that played background audio. Your solution worked perfectly, thanks.
FYI, later i tried changing Memory optimization setting to Low instead of Off and that turned out to be enough to solve the problem but prevented interface lags here and there.
reboot will erase apps and info?
Hi guys!
Thanks for this tip, really helpful to solve this annoying problem. My question is about the 'Reboot' process.
Is this going to erase all the apps, photos, contacts, etc. in the phone? or it's just going to override the setup of the memory optimization keeping the rest of the setup the same. I don't want to lose all the things I have already.
Looking forward to have your response
Thanks in advance.

It's just a simple reboot, the same as turning your phone off and on again. Your data and apps are safe
Thanks a lot for the quick response!
Just done and it works perfectly
I did turn off memory optimization and it did not help me. Spotify getting closed automatically after few minutes probably after 5-7 minutes during the screen lock. Please help.
If you don't want to turn off Ram Opti, go to the Security app, under Battery, you can setup battery mode for every apps. Set up spotify to 'no battery optimization'.

You haven't the built-in Battery Saver enabled ? Are you using any task killer apps or battery saver ? (Greenify for example)
Excelent!

I think you should upgrade to miui 8.5 because I didnt have problem in that version

You need to check with your network provider. Which network are you on? For me, it's instantaneous either 4g/5g.
I’m in Germany on Telekom.de network i resetted also the Network Settings which the Provider told me but still issue remains
Have you wiped the cache partition in recovery menu?
Have you tried Galaxy App Booster (Good Guardians suite)?
No delay here - PL. It is as fast as it can be on our poor 5G network...
Try setting the Private DNS to Off in Settings>Connections>More Connection Settings
No problems here

You're welcome. I'm very sceptical on the fact that it could solve the issue if the cache partition wipe didn't help, but it's still something to try.
Have you already tried to uninstall -> reinstall the apps?

As it's only manifesting on two apps, I'm more suspecting that it's related to them than related to the network itself (if the OP said it was touching everything using network, I'd have recommended something like what you wrote, surely).
