I have noticed my battery sucks lately. I know the battery isn't the greatest but I was able to get easily a day of use out if it. Now I can barely go a day. I purchased beautiful Widgets, battery indicator and xda app all last week And it seems after that is when my battery went to **** .I used launcher pro for a bit too but started having lag problems so I removed that. Today I uninstalled beautiful Widgets. I'm on wifi and in airplane mode. As I'm typing this I've lost %2 already. Wtf is going on? I have GPS Bluetooth and usually wifi off. I have use only 2G networks, sync only gmail and screen manually set and set to low 30sec TO.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like way more than that. I can certainly type a couple paragraphs before my % drops at all. You sure haven't installed something else? If not you could have a defect.? Possibly return it and get a new one?

Quick question, which ROM are you running? Ever since I switched over to leaked JI2, every couple days I notice that after running one of a few apps, the CPU just seems to go into overdrive. The phone gets really warm and the battery drains ridiculously fast. So fast that even plugging into my car charger won't charge the phone, even on idle. If I reboot, the phone cools down and the battery drain goes back to its normal, slow self.
I haven't narrowed it down to any specific app yet, but it seems to be either, Foursquare, Great Land Grab, or Bubble Blast.
Foursquare I have, I don't remember when I installed it. I am actually just running stock TW.

I get 15hrs... I am not ROOTED! I did the drain battery life process twice. This is with moderate usage. I am planning to do the drain battery process once a month cuz I hear it helps with battery life. Possible that u install something that's killing your battery.
Solution do the master reset if that doesn't help then it can be the battery is no good. I know that this is with the stock rom. If u are using another rom that's maybe the problem. U can try switchig roms to see if this is the problem. I hope this information has been helpful.
Does the master reset remove everything ? I have all my pics/videos on my phone meM. I have music and avatar on SD.

I have all of those apps except for battery indicator. I get about just over a full day. I would say turn off Wifi Sleep Policy and see if that helps.

I have the same issue and i run system app n it doesn't show anything abnormal running. Its awfully frustrating i went from being good for 18hours to being in the red after 12 hours. I dropped 2% just writing this. I have only 84% left after 1.5hours this morning...and I have no service during my 1hour commute so I haven't used it. Standby is killing my battery.

It seems as though it drains faster in standby with nothing running. I removed FourSquare last night and have nothing running as far as widgets. I'm going to reboot and see. I've had it unplugged since 7am this morning, after a little over an hour I lost 2%.. not that bad I guess..

I've had this happen a few times. For me, it's usually because my battery status gets thrown off somehow. The phone would read that I have 55% battery life left, but it really only is at 25 or 30% and it always feels like it's draining fast. I usually turn off the phone, pull the battery out for a few seconds and then put it back it. When I turn on the phone the battery percentage is corrected and the phones seems to be back to normal battery use. I don't know why this happens.

This was suddenly happening to me today -- my battery started draining very quickly, mostly on standby (I usually have quite good battery life). No new or unusual apps installed in the past week (I don't use Foursquare).
I gave it a power-down/battery pull; no adjustment in the % as described in the post above, but it seems to be draining more normally now. Weird....

Same thing happens to me every couple days. Rebooting the phone fixes it every single time though, so it's not a big deal if I catch it in time. If I didn't catch it, I'd estimate my phone would be drained (even in standby) within 4 hours or so.

Same here, I rebooted after removing FS and some other apps/touitur and got 1day 13hrs on the next charge with pretty moderate use. So whatever it was, it's gone now. If it was FS hopefully it's fixed soon.
Had a similar experience, with battery % entering freefall every time I turned the phone on. Two things helped:
1. I did the drain cycle. Drain the battery completely till it shuts off and charge it to full while off. This does not 'fromat/form' the battery in any way it just helps the phone to calibrate the meter.
2. I uninstalled few apps that I suspected were draining the battery.
I advise you install JuicePlotter and see the graph of battery drain. You'll be able to tell if the phone is entering standby or not. Thanks to some culprit apps (still figuring out what it was exactly) my phone was not entering standby at all hence the crap battery life.
hi, so lately ive been using my 3g connection for use with my laptop via wifi tethering. when i have enough battery, i let it drain, and then continue tethering while charging until full, and then drain it again
my question is, with the fast pace of draining and charging almost everyday, will it cause any negative effects on my battery or my phone?
Yes it will just like every battery has a life cycle.
But should you worry.. No as I do exactly the same and have on numerous devices.

oh okay, glad to hear that, thanks!
if you have other methods that would do less damage to the battery in the long run, you can share it here
(maybe leave it plugged in even if full?)
Problem with leaving plugged in is heat as can get damn hot....
I tend to do a battery cycle very week or every flash of ROM/Kernel as the stats get awry since tether takes allot of juice.
Anyone else experiencing horrible batter drain? Android OS is taking up 50-60% on average and it just eats it up while idle. I'm thinking about a return, this is my second handset, and with a locked bootloader, im losing faith in a quick solution. Any ideas?
Minimal use and quick setup with two to three app dowloads, and my 40% charged new device was down to zero in 2 hours.
I've noticed some battery quirks so far. My percentage drops 3% simply by locking and unlocking my phone within a few minutes. I've also seen it jump up in percentage once so not sure. Maybe there is something in the OS that isn't optimized that's causing the battery drain and quirks? I dunno. Be great to hear from some other people on this issue.

Hi give it a couple of charge cycles it will definitely improve.
Yes, I've got the same problem. The OS takes most of the battery. Idle is fine, but with any use battery drops very fast and gets extremely hot, as well.

Keep in mind that these are new phones with NEW BATTERIES. With that being said, you need to "cycle" (charge to 100% then discharge to 0% <repeat 3-5x's) the battery before we judge and jump into conclusions. Just sayin

For the record, I'm also having pretty lousy battery life. OS taking up 55%+. Last night I charged it to 100%, played with it until it was about 93% and then went to bed. Woke up this morning and it was at 65% with zero deep sleep and 80% OS usage.
Something's funky. I like the phone but can't be dealing with this constantly.
A:
EDIT: Turns out the extreme drain was from the radio. I had switched off LTE in the hidden menu and apparently that causes a ton of wakelocks and prevents deep sleep. As soon as I turned LTE back on, deep sleep came back. So that's somewhat encouraging.
I'll have to look at that. I'm getting a day with light use out of my second phone after a few charges, but it gets a little scary when im using it. I'm staying optimistic, my s3 was just phenomenal with battery life after rom kernel additions.
Can you explain how you turned off/on lte and the menu path?
I dont see an apn option other than the stock one (which im assuming is lte enabled). I'd like to see if it makes a difference. Thanks.
you need to enable network menu in the build.prop and a menu will appear where apn is

This is really disappointing. Physically, this phone is fantastic. It looks great and the specs are terrific but it's crippled by absolutely horrid software which I suspect is the reason for the abysmal battery life.
After my first day with the phone yielded less than 10 hours I decided to do a factory reset and set the phone to Eco Mode. That improved things slightly... I managed to get 14 hours but that was with limited usage. In fact, the only significant difference in results was that, in Eco Mode, Android OS shows that it is consuming 80% of the battery vs 53% the previous day.
There is something seriously wrong with these things... the fact that some people are saying that they aren't seeing the problem has me worried that it may be some sort of hardware-related issue.

I would guess those people that aren't seeing this are not looking at the battery stats, I have never seen Android take up this % of battery on any device and I have been using android since the Hero... about a good 15 devices or more ago I have lost count. Come next Thursday I am going to go switch out for something else if the boot loader is not unlocked yet.

yes i know its a bug but battery life is still good i can use it for 7 hours screen on and still last me a day this lasted me almost 2 days.
i like to keep my gs3 connected to wifi and muted while i'm sleeping but when i wake up i always get 8-10% battery drain (in 8 hours app), i come from a motorola atrix which in the same conditions i get no more than 2% drain over night.
i've tried many roms (omega, foxhound, ultimarom...), many kernels (stock, galaxsih, siyah, phenomenal medium and extreme...), and also some basebands (modem, radio) but i keep sticking with the XXLH1 'cause i get less drain with this one. but in any combination i always get 8-10% battery drain during night.
i've seen some of you say that you get 2-4% drain in the same context so i would like to know what am i doing wrong :/

im using the leaked stock 4.1.2 there now, and i had 3% drain in 11hrs between overnight and not using it this am.
seems v good for battery life so far. i know your pain though. its non usage time i want to be high batterylife. id expect 2-3 days from the phone when not playing games etc... im hoping this is gonna fix that now. most reports are good about battery so heres hoping.

How is it sleeping overnight? check settings > battery and check how much it's awake when the screen is off, then check better battery stats to see what is waking it up, I would probably say you have too much synced.
you're right, i have too much synced, 3 google accounts, plus facebook, twitter, whatsapp, skype and others but those are the same settings i had on my old motorola atrix and even there i got 1-2% drain, although i was on gingerbread.
i will install some battery stats application to see in details whats draining it so much, 'cause under settings it only says that idle and standby time are the draining reasons.
gonna try the leaked 4.1.2 to see if i get better results, thanks!.

Better battery stats is the best, but that is a lot to sync, I would imagine it's not sleeping well because whenever an app decides to sync it will wake the phone up, and let's not forget the S3 has a 1.4GHz quad core CPU, if it wakes and uses all cores it will drain the battery faster than a single or dual core CPU. I notice the Atrix has a 1GHz dual core, so you should expect a lot more drain especially with that much synced, honestly you shouldn't need Skype syncing unless you always want your skype contacts to be up to date in the contacts app, and Twitter just syncs to pull the latest tweets through, you can just do that manually every time you open the app.

does that mean that jelly bean is making you experience worse battery life?.
maybe it's because the atrix has 2 cores but if the gs3 uses all 4 cores to fetch or sync some data, that would mean it's not very well optimized for simple tasks, thanks anyway i'll try better battery stats

Android doesn't fully support multi-core CPUs yet, which is the main problem, all you can try if you need all the apps syncing is download a custom kernel and change the CPU governor this will change how the system uses the CPU and it can help.
Well for starters, Google Now should be disabled if you are concerned about battery life. Also check for and disable latitude and location reported from maps (they are getting activated by google now) Even if data/sync/gps are off google now constantly polling for updates thus draining battery.
With my HD2 running GB/Froyo for over 2 years, and methodical testing to achieve the lowest battery drain in standby (testing for 8hrs at night) the best I could do in AP mode was .35% per hour which is less than 3% over 8hrs.
I have owned and tested my S3 for 4 months and usually get 1% per hr and in AP mode....I get similar to the HD2 above at .35% per hour but I haven't tested to crazily.
I find it hard to believe and would love to be convinced, that any S3 owner can get less than 3% per hour drain without going into AP mode. Please prove me wrong and state your methods for all to learn.
Finally, I do not find the battery drain to be Linear. I am guessing that a battery charged to 100% sometimes may actually be a bit stronger than 100%. So doing a random single test may result in low drain numbers but that may be misleading. That same test performed at 20% level, may yield worse results if in fact my theory that the battery does not drain linearly...is true. But for consistency, I always perform the test at 100% battery and let it sit in the charger for an extra 2hrs before unplugging it. This way, at least the test is more consistent and more directly comparable.
I now have Green Power app installed and it is able to automatically turn off wifi/data in standby under conditions set by me, the user. I am performing some nightly drain tests. I would be thrilled if I could get between .35-.75% per hour. My first 2 nightly tests failed thanks to Slacker Radio....which held a Wakelock even though I bloody killed it!
I think this could be due to fast dormacy

A bit off topic but just reminds me of my old Nokia N95 because whenever I was in a network dead spot or just have no signal for whatever reason (Gif fgaff) the battery would completely run dry within maybe 6 hours, and you'd think because it has no signal it should last longer than the few days standby I normally got.
And I've never had a SIM in any of my Android phones that lost service for long so has anyone seen this happen on an Android or is it just a Symbian thing?

When a phone has no signal it has to scan all frequencies for a signal, this constant switching of frequencies drains a lot of battery, it also increases the power to the mobile networks chip to try to pick up even a weak signal, which also drains the battery faster, it happens on all phones.

Will give it a try but I have never seen it show up in BBS in the past hence never tried it (I was aware of it) and as far as I am aware O2 (UK) does support Fast Dormancy.
It is not that I an dubious about the 3% drop over 11 hours I just want to get to the same level!
EDIT: To get the 3% drop do you disable everything you mention above? I use Tasker to disable everything including sync, wifi etc...except the cell. But I do not disable play store notifications seperately.

Do you use WiFi and cellular the same amount of time, gps, same apps, same screen brightness, deep sleep the same amount of time, same amount of calls, all the same settings, sync on or off, same background processes running the same amount of time, etc etc. If you don't do EVERYTHING the exact same as your mother, with the same apps , etc etc, you can't possibly expect the same or roughly the same battery life. Hell my mom's CDMA s3 gets better battery life than my s5 because she doesn't use it exactly the same, and CDMA sucks balls on battery life compared to gsm.

Do you use WiFi and cellular the same amount of time, gps, same apps, same screen brightness, deep sleep the same amount of time, same amount of calls, all the same settings, sync on or off, same background processes running the same amount of time, etc etc. If you don't do EVERYTHING the exact same as your mother, with the same apps , etc etc, you can't possibly expect the same or roughly the same battery life.

Not too many people get more than a couple of days of moderate use. I get three days of very light use and a couple of days medium use. Sometimes mediaserver turns on and zaps my entire battery in less than a day, so I have to clear cache, and dalvick cache and reboot and that stops it.
One of the best things to do is get the app Better Battery Stats and see if you phone is going into deep sleep. If you get a good percentage of deep sleep then you doing well. If have some program keeping the phone awake and using all your battery (wakelocks,) then you have to figure out was the program is and kill it or whatever.
