Problem with S3 Battery - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i fall asleep i just place my phone nearby the bed and its on airplane mode,wifi closed,data closed and generally no apps running(i think so).The battery is level (ex)50% and when i wake up,about 7 hours later its always about 15-20%.why this happen?
I checked the battery manager just after i waked up and the first was screen(56%) and after that adobe reader(10%)

Start with Better Battery Stats and read the ten million battery posts on XDA .

Mine drops about 1.5% every hour whenever it's on standby.

Better battery stats does not work.dont know why.and i made my own post cause i cannot find the solution of the problem on other posts.try to be more polite to your answers

have you tried downloading the xda version of the better battery stats? if not here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Is your phone rooted? Like others said, try to install the xda-forum version of BBS but it's weird because I did install the one from GPlay.
One of the first lead is the WiFi? Is it always turned on? There's a bug with it. Go into the advanced WiFi settings and set it to 'only if activated' (I don't know the exact spell in English but it's something like that).
But you better have to dl BBS & check the wakelocks.

what?

Underclock when you're not using your phone.
That will save battery.
If ur using stock TW. Put on power saving mode
PM Me if u want to know more.

Try using an app called easy battery saver and only use the cable and plug that came with your galaxy s3 it works for me, today I had eight hours after charge and using internet with 3g nearly continuously.
You would get much more by leaving it on standby.
Also restrict your background data, turn off your automatic updates at play store andturn off WiFi while screen is asleep.
Follow all these for better battery.

Use any battery investigation apk/widget (I'd recommend battery monitor widget) and look what is causing the drain...
may I guess: cell standby or gpsd?

guys i remember you that the cell phone is on flight mode with wifi,gps and data turned off

and, if you have a soft which contains a bug - you'll have such processes running.
It is up to you to install any apk which will contain more detailed statistics what actually is consuming so much juice.
If you do not want - no one would force you.

I have the exactly same problem,30% drain overnight.That happens after updating to 4.1.1 JellyBean.With ICS never happened.

Go into the battery page, click on the graph and then post a screenshot of the detailed graph here. It is usually an app or process not letting the phone go into standby. Happened to me when I had my phone on ICS out of the box. I fixed that all up through the individual app settings and all was sweet. Then when I went from ICS to JB, the issue came up again and I had to go through the apps again to change the settings back. It seems that by updating from ICS to JB, certain settings get set back to default, which then does not allow the phone to go into standby.
Culprits that I have found are:
Facebook - set to manual refresh interval
Weather (or any weather widget) - manual refresh interval
Google play store - Turn off Google AdMob Ads
Any form of newsreader (I was using Pulse) - Turn off notification when there are new stories
Wifi advanced settings - Set Keep Wifi on during sleep to "Always"
Samsung account - Turn off sync
Samsung app store - Turn off Update Notification, turn off push notification, turn off ad preferences.

Maybe some apps running in background if you are using *viber* delete it
It makes proximity sensor always on.
Try delete apps like that

Guys please keep in mind that keeping the stock os without any custom kernel might be not as effective than using an adequate custom rom...
In addition remember, cooler temperatures cause ur battery to lose its charge faster...
So if ur phone is placed on the window shelf and its getting cold during the night it might cause ur battery to drop fast..
I made this observation with my sgs plus....
Hope i helped.

[Q] ICS Passion 9.2 battery life

I just registered, so I can't ask this directly to the developer, but hopefully someone can help me out. I flashed the ICS *Passion* 9.2 beta after reading up on it and seeing all the rave reviews about it. It has been a couple days with a few charge cycles completed and my battery life is still in the hole. Does anybody have any idea why my battery life is so bad? I hardly use it, just to text a bit and browse the internet occasionally. I saw quite a few posts in it with people achieving 12-17 hours battery life with moderate use, and yet I can only manage 6 with light use. The battery menu shows the screen using quite a bit of battery, which is strange, because I have the screen off with the exception of a quick text. Help?
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/screenshotgn.png
I have similar battery use issues. I believe you have to have it fully charged then wipe your battery stats in the Clockwork Rom Manager menu under advanced. Fully charge again and repeat the process several times. You are probably aware but if dataswitch or wi-fi is running while not using, it will drain bigtime.

Wrong about last part.
I run wifi 24/7 and get 20+ hours light use of course.
I'll give you some of my settings I did to make it like this when I get to a computer I don't like typing long things on phone.

There are some apps and explanations for download in my Battery Guide, post 3, that may help with this too.
Listen to Rider though. He's been on ICS since the beginning. Send some if those settings my way and ill put them in the guide if you want/don't mind.
HNY buddy.
Ok, i will list a few things I ALWAYS do on ICS right after flashing.
Settings> Display > Brightness to lowest ( i don't like the high brightness it hurts my eyes if i need it i turn it up) My Screen display time is set to 2 minutes (i don't think it matters unless if you just turn your screen on and leave it there)
Accounts and Sync > Sync everything right after flash and then disable syncing of Google Photos and Calendar (unless if absolutely necessary)
Also if you sync things like Gmail and what not, try to set the sync time 1 hour + mines set at a hour.
I also use Titanium Backup PRO to freeze DRM protect- , Email, and email exchange ( i only use GMAIL so i don't need another app taking any space) if you don't use gmail, freeze it.
I don't like using GPS because I know the places I go to. I know the roads near me etc. GPS shouldn't be THAT big of a problem if you remember to turn it off after using.
Settings> Location> all of mine are unchecked, if you do use GPS frequently then check the ones necessary. I don't like Google knowing where I live, it does no good just wastes a little bit more battery.
I use SETCPU(paid) you can use Voltage Control (free) and change your frequencies to minimum: 100 max: 1000 and then menu > set on boot or something similar. If you don't set it on boot, right after a reboot its going to change.
Thats basically all the things i do at a fresh rom flash. I might update this post if I miss something.

that's the thing.....I'm really not sure at all, something in my set up, something I froze with titanium, some sound setting, I really don't know,, I don't use haptic or touch sounds, so that might be linked, but beating in mind if I had tried one thing at a time, then used bbs and let it idle for two hours each time I tried something,I would be at it forever,
I'm dual booting slim and wanamlite, so even more complicated
Sorry to be so vague but I really can't pin it down!

From my testing with my stock rom and communicating with the Dev from Better Battery Stats a month ago or so, I don't believe the statistic AudioOut_1 or AudioOut_2 is the cause for any battery drain. (at least not for me) You see them listed under Partial Wakelocks but the "count" increases every time certain UI sounds are triggered even with the screen ON! So it's a bit misleading...because the OS implies that the counts are increasing during standby.....hence the term Partial Wakelock.
And YES...by disabling Keytones and Touch Sounds etc., the statistic is eliminated and BBS will not show an increase. So basically...I IGNORE THIS STATISTIC...and keep my sounds turned ON!
As a test, I suggest you to disable this feature of the phone (go to Settings - Manage Applications and disavle apps Google Text to Speech and Samsung TTS).

See I would agree with you but when you turn and disable everything you have to your phone should be allowed to enter deep sleep. under the partial wakelock the audioOut_2 is the only thing not allowing it to enter thus if you look at all the all the apps you have running and some apps run like the sound is on even with the screen off. My problem was puzzle and dragons would run the sound and drain my battery and when i exit it the audio problem stops. So to answer your question tony just empty your running apps when you get ready to turn your screen off and see if that helps.

Same for me. Normally my tablet eats 1 percent of battery max for a screen off hour. Today, I restarted, done a backup, booted the system and then I turned the screen off and went about my bussiness. Now, according to BBS, I have 3,5 percent down per hour. And the only "huge" wakelock is Audioout_2.

Same problem here on my note 2... last night before sleep time i killed all apps by holding down the home button.BBS clearly showed audio_out2 as the one which has the partial wakelocks... sigh... no solution yet?
on a side note in sound settings im not using sound and vibration. just keyones. screen lock sound and haptic fb.
Same problem here
All touchsounds disabled and AudioOut_2 did not stop to drain my battery. Maybe it's time to switch to BlackBerry Z10.
for those who are having problems with phone not going to sleep, just go to settings - manage apps - and disable the Samsung TTS app (or freeze it with Titanium Backup). At least this fixed the problem here.

My Galaxy S3 Battery Life Sucks Please Help! 15% After Only 7 Hours.

My Galaxy S3 Battery Life Sucks Please Help! 15% After Only 7 Hours.
I’ve been having this same problem sense I got my phone about 2 months ago but now I’m finally just tired of it! My phone is rooted, using the stock ROM.
What I do to help battery life:
- Every morning I hold the home button and kill multitasking and kill all running aps in the background then I open autokill which automatically kills running apps in the background that are not needed.
- I have power saving enabled
- Easy Battery Saver running
After 7 hours of use I’m already at 15% and through out the day I barley use my phone. Its like this just about everyday. I use my phone about an hour of the entire day of web surfing and Facebook usage etc. The rest of the day I’m only texting and maybe taking 3 or 4 phone calls that last 10 mins. How much battery could that possibly take? A flip phone can do that and last 3 days..
I used my iPhone 4S much more during the day then I do the galaxy S3 because the S3 has terrible battery life.
On my iPhone I would have about 22% after everyday of using it for 11 hours down time = sleep and 4 hours of usage = texting, , phone calls, web surfing, games etc.
I don’t play games or watch movies on my S3. Only texting, instagram, facebook, websurfing which is about an hour a day usage. Also a couple minutes of GPS usage on some days.
What can I do to fix this? I don’t want a bigger battery that will make my phone any thicker.
I have pictures below showing usage through out the day and usage under battery.
Please help!
Thanks!

Oh thats easy.
You're phone is always "Awake". It doesn't go into Deep sleep like everyone elses. If you take a look at the first picture you linked with the graph, it shows that the phone is always AWAKE.
For comparison, I have attached mine as a reference but something is DEFINITELY keeping your phone awake.

Can't really see anything that stands out per say...
If you see anything on that thread or any apps on your phone that you think could be keeping it awake, just uninstall them. I would suggest trying to remove them a few at a time just to narrow down which ones are keeping the phone awake.
Also, apparently this app helps a lot (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy) and Better Battery stats should give you a better idea of which apps use the CPU while your phone is trying to sleep.
Oh and remove any task managers you have installed.. Those tend to be the worst offenders.
One last thing, found this on another forum:
- Don't use an automatic task killer--not even the one that comes with the phone. Reboot your phone and look at what's running. If anything that you've installed is running and there's no reason for it, then uninstall it and find an alternative that behaves. Ignore any stock apps that run on boot as I've found them to be more or less benign.
- Weather widgets, live wallpapers, news/social feeds, any app or service that you use that runs--do without it if you can. If you can’t do without it, lengthen it’s refresh time.
- Don't use antivirus
- Set your WIFI sleep policy to never. The default is "turn off when screen turns off". This will cause the wifi to reconnect every time you open the phone. From any Home Screen select Menu/Settings/Wireless & Networks/ and then use the Menu button to see some new options - select Advanced. Then select Wifi Sleep Policy and set it to Never. Home key to return to Home Screen.
- If you have access to wifi, leave it toggled on as it is more efficient than 3G. Wifi consumes less battery power than 3G.
- I leave GPS toggled on too by the way. Apps use it as needed. When I'm done with Maps or an app that uses it, I'm sure to return to the home screen so GPS can stop. Under wireless settings turn on "Google location services" so that an app is able to use network resources to get your location instead of GPS. I have "VZW location services" turned off--don't know why that option is even there. By the way, I increase the speed of voice output > text to speech > speech rate because I like the directions to get spit out faster. That saves a bit of battery. Turning off the display and just listening for directions help. Also, often I just get the directions and then exit back to the home screen: GPS uses so much battery I try to get it over with ASAP.
- Under Accounts, click on any account listed and turn off sync for any items that you're not interested in syncing. For example, Google Books if you don't use it. Don't use Backup Assistant--I prefer syncing my contacts with Google. You don't need both. Also go into your contacts > menu > display options > backup assistant > UNCHECK. Also do contacts > menu > more > settings > contact storage > and select your Google account and "remember this choice"
Are you on the 3G network a lot or weak signal areas? Is your phone hot around the bottom? If yes to both, most likely it's because of the system attempting to find a better signal. When I was swapping out my SIMs, in various countries, I only have 3G network and my battery fully drains in 7hrs at idle. The only way i can go a whole day is to place my phone into airplane mode or wifi only to conserve the battery.
my battery runs at-most 13 hrs........................

Welcome to smartphones. The calls alone will drain the battery. Seven hours isn't horrible for all that. It isn't a flip phone.

maybe you have to flash a new rom
If you want, you could try to flash a custom ROM. I had the same problem that you have, and I flashed Revolutionary S5, and now my phone lasts minimum two days with the same usage, maybe a bit more.

Titanium Backup will assist a little bit. When you do a backup of an apk it will tell you if the application is running. You can find all kinds of sneaky apps this way. Many of them were ones I didn't use and didn't really want. That will probably yield minimal results, though. Keeping a black background helps on my S3. Colors, widgets, and live backgrounds will drain the battery. Turn off the menu and back key lights. You know the buttons are there. Turn off all haptic feedback and key press sounds. Of course, try to lower the screen brightness. Leaving my data and sync on hasn't caused me any problems, but you will save some battery by turning them off when not in use. I also read a post about hidden menu options that ran even when they weren't meant to. That was an issue that destroyed battery life. Some ROMs also have settings for data connection type. You'll save power by telling your phone to not worry about gaining signals like 4g, 3g, etc. As other people have said, try out some ROMs that make battery life a big priority.
it CAN get better
if you want to have a good battery life, use custom rom and kernel (or a modified stock like omega rom), watch out for wakelocks + apply these settings:

[Q] S3 Battery drain

Hello! I bet you have seen this a heap of times. Well guess what, so have I. Alas, nothing has been found - I checked Android Central, the T-Mobile and AT&T websites and all sorts of other techy places but to no avail. So here I am, scavenging information, doing stuff to my phone - I am finally to the end point - writing a post myself.
So, heres my problem: awful battery and when I charge while using the phone, the battery goes DOWN!
Lets start with this
What I have done:
Factory reset
Cleared cache
Deleted every program (app)
Airplane mode
No sim card
Downgrade to 4.1.2
Rooted and calibrated battery
Full discharge to full charge
Now please check the eye candy down below in the attachments..
So.. What else?! It isn't a hardware problem because when it is turned off and charging, it seems to be fine.
Some system specs:
Galaxy S3
International
OmniRom 4.4 (btw, this ALSO has drain, I install hoping it wouldn't)
Wrong section just post in q& a section...
Install BBS and see what's eating your battery..
Sent from my GT-I9300
Go into Google Settings and Turn Location Reporting Off. If you want a more agressive power saving go into WiFi settings and turn Always Scanning Off.
Clean
I had this problem of the phone discharging while charging (no pun intended) and the only solution I found was to clean the phone's USB charging port with an Contacts cleaner Spray (the one that has a "pipe/tube", let it dry out and clean the usb plug likewise. That solved my problem. But mind you: my problem was phone discharging while charging

Thanks for the info. I did both, yet, noticing a little less awaking, it still drains when charging and rather abnormally when not and just using it. The only thing waking my phone up now seems to be Google Search? (in wake lock detector) Cant anyone explain that?
Install an app disable services and disable Google services which are active in background... But disable then one by one as it may affect your play store functionality...

using wake lock detector I noticed the apps name (google search) was com.google.android.googlequicksearch... but, using a service disabling app, I couldn't find that name under the system app ''google search'' tab?
*EDIT: I tracked all the wakelocks (ALL of them) and they lead to location services! Simply turning it off gives me no more wake locks. Not a permanent solution as I am completely unsatisfied, but a temporary one nonetheless. Going to keep monitoring battery as it seems to be fine, but I haven't nailed down the discharg while charging problem yet...

Question regarding battery

I recently installed LS 4.0 on my Razr Maxx and noticed on my break at work i was at around 35% battery, then 2 hours later when i got off work i was at 3%, in that time i didnt have any apps open so the drain dosent make any sense. I took a screenshot of the battery graph for reference: http://i.imgur.com/MyUDnNT.png
As you can see on the graph it randomly drops off there and then goes down at a pretty brisk pace. I wasent using the phone from 6pm to 8pm, right around the time it dropped all that battery.
Could this be due to my battery just dieing out or is it possibly a issue with the rom?

I recently installed LS 4.0 on my Razr Maxx and noticed on my break at work i was at around 35% battery, then 2 hours later when i got off work i was at 3%, in that time i didnt have any apps open so the drain dosent make any sense. I took a screenshot of the battery graph for reference: http://i.imgur.com/MyUDnNT.png
As you can see on the graph it randomly drops off there and then goes down at a pretty brisk pace. I wasent using the phone from 6pm to 8pm, right around the time it dropped all that battery.

Please describe more information like:
1. was your network set in 3G? LS battery isn't really good with 3G
2. what number of app you are using? social media apps that always updating their data i.e google+, fb, etc --> would increase data usage when they synchronize.
3. please check whether your razr went to deep sleep.
Solution:
1. Set to 2G always and go to 3G if you want faster speed (download the 2g/3g toggle widget for L)
2. Uninstall those app if you're not using it or limit their synchronize routine by the app itself or using profile in Tasker (advanced method)
3. you should installed wakelock monitor app from Play Store
If battery drain were persist when you have done those troubleshoot and solution, you should try to calibrate your battery (leave it shutdown automatically after reaching low level and then charge it until 100%, go + 1 hour to make sure, go to recovery to check the % and then boot to your system and calibrate using calibration app from the Play Store).
Last one, if calibrate doesnt work, then the battery might be already dropped.
Also do check that location services etc are set to power save mode.
Use an app to check wakelock and disable that annoying app.
or may be you are right... lets hope not for your own wellness!
I also remember having that problem when I was on cm12. After my battery dropping insanely low, it kept long before the little juice left in it run out.
So i thinks its something with the 5.0 ROMs
