Screen draining battery like crazy - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I noticed this problem right when I bought the phone and went to the battery settings. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Some details: Stock 4.3 ROM, rooted and TWRP recovery.

That is perfectly normal, about 5hrs screen on time from a full battery. Screen will always be the biggest power user.

Try rebooting the phone at first, if that did not help do a data factory reset. After that if not solved you might reflash a stock rom. Still no remedy, take it to the shop/repair center.

Turn off power saving mode, you don't need to root the s3 it's perfect the way it is.

Am I missing something here? At what point did they even mention rooting the phone? And rooting is still the best way of disabling bandwidth hungry ads in apps.

What type of flickering? This may sound stupid, but it is a legit question. Try making a photo of it.
If it is going downwards in bar-like formation, it's the display.
If it is blinking, it is Android, or a loose connection...

Wont stay off and battery drain

Hey i have two problems. My first is that sgs2 wont stay turned off. I just replaced the charging port and now it wont stay off. My second problem is that my phone has a very bad battery drain. In about 6hrs my phone is 20%. I used Gsam to check what was draing my battery life and it was my Kernel. My kernel is a siyah kernel and its for jb and it says one kernel rules all. Im running Task 650 Aokp jb 4.1.2. Also it gets really hot around the camera. Thanks in advance

Download BetterBatteryStats and charge your phone completely to 100%... leave the phone alone.. dont use it at all.. keep the wifi and mobile data on for 4 hours+ and post the dump.. check for kernel wakelocks.. partial wakelocks.. to see what is draining your battery..
P.S - some tips.. keep your sync off.. if you are using the fb app.. delete and use it from a browser..

I'm confused. Do you mean the power button has failed? Or what exactly do you mean by "it won't turn off"?
When I power my phone off it goes off. Then about 10 seconds later it just boots back up. I dont hit a button or anything.

You need to find out if the problem is hardware or firmware related. Since you did some work inside your phone, it may be hardware, but you can test this by flashing back to stock and see if the problem persists.
Also, you didn't say, but wondering if the power button works normally otherwise. For instance, can you use the three button combo to get into recovery, etc.
...and also wondering if you pull the battery then put it back in, will the phone stay off?
It works fine and also the three button combo. I will try to get back to stock bit I tryed something and it kinda worked.
I turned the phone off and locked the screen at the same time and it stayed off. The only bad thing is when i turn it back on it drains to 3% and is stuck in download mode. Since it is stuck in download mode I have to take my case off and the battery out

Phone gets hot and battery sucks!

Hey guys...
So thats the problem i am facing with my SG2,whenever im using the phone it becomes really hot. And battery also,i get only like 5-6 hours of on-screen usage and that sucks. I have tried many ways to callibrate it but none worked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hot is normal because CPU be faster and that's why is hot...
google themselves say that doesn't affect battery life

So calibrating is no needed. And stock battery drains very fast I use 3500Mh... I play games with it, on about 1h and my battery is about 80%
Sorry For Bad English.
Can you provide a battery stats screenshot?

Was your phone display turned off ?
If yes then program/programs use phone in deep sleep you need betterbaterystats and Look what using so much processor If you was using phone then It's normal. And you can't change nothing about battery only Dorimanx/Syiah Kernel and use Stweaks...
You made this screenshot after leaving the phone for 12 min display turned off?

AFAIK there is no solution. The percentage will be right after some time or after a complete charge.

Hmm, everything is stock, all I did was pull the battery for 5 minutes while I swapped out my memory card. It happened on my s1 after I flashed cutom rom, but that was fixed by changing the kernal.
