Could be your calibration is off and the battery wasn't actually at 23%. Or you could have a short of some kind. Try charging up then wiping battery stats and recalibrate battery.

Ok so flashed bionix v. And then fully drained fully charged then wiped out battery stat.
It says do it 3times tto get the best result. I already did once so on the 2nd ttime do I wipe out the battery stat again or just fully drain and fully charge again?

What I have read and did is after the the wipe is just use your phone till its drained. You already cleaned out the battery memory.

Fully discharging a LiIon battery is the WORST thing you can do to extend it's life. Doing it multiple times in a row deliberately is not a good idea.
The only thing that needs "calibrating" is the phones awareness of what a fully charged state is. Charge the phone fully, wipe battery stats, and get back to using your phone.

Thanks for the info and yea I know about that when I say fully drain I don't really fully drain. I plug in the charger at 1%
But once again thanks

This is completely correct. This is why the proper way to flash a rom is on a complete 100% charge. This way never have to fiddle with the battery stats.

To be further clear on how to keep LiIon batteries healthy, you should charge them at every opportunity. Naturally it's not always convenient to charge just because the battery is getting low, but if it is convenient you should be charging (if lengthening the lifespan of the battery is an important goal).
my phone has said 5% since about 3:30 pm Central its now 4:20pm and I've been streaming netflix and music to try and kill it off and it has not died I've played the nfs shift game and lets golf 2 that comes preloaded I've sent texts browsed the web and this is acting like it has a lot more juice in and I've wiped batt stat multiple times I've used the battery calibrater app and it doesn't change a thing so this must have a false battery stat reader any of you noticed this?
I have noticed that it also skips, like mine was at 40% for ever then 30% for 1 min then 20% for ever etc

Try using BatteryCalibration from the Market and see if that helps. It basically resets your battery history and is recommended to do every time you update or flash a new ROM. Hope this helps!

That app doesn't complete the calibrating process.
Take the battery out for a bit?, try to put it on a charger?

9. Use your phone normally while you calibrate the battery
You have to use the phone till it reaches full capacity.

No. I read the gist and realized I had the same issues before I used it.
This callibration thing has been driving me nuts too... I quit callibrating and now and I just follow battery voltage (the bat stat widget). My extended battery keeps working until it drops below 3.6 V... usually by then I've been on "5%" for a few hours...

honestly i don't think battery is an issue on this phone calibration is just wayyyyy off
I want to know that we normally calibrate battery when it is charged to 100%, but what if we remove batterystats when we are on 0%?
it will be the same as we caliberated when it was caliberated at 100%?
It's generally not a good idea to drain a lithium ion battery down to 0. They don't have memory, but draining them all the way can destroy the battery.

What I meant was as in if lithium ion batteries go all the way down to 0% they can never be recharged .

One day my phone got switched off automatically because the battery was very low and then I rebooted again and it got switched off again. Later, I was not able to reboot it. I wasn't able to go into Recovery mode either. And when I plugged in my adapter for charging the battery, nothing happened. I thought my phone got bricked and was all set to go into a Samsung Service Centre. But somehow, after 24 hours, when I plugged it again, the battery icon appeared in my SGA screen and it was charging. I suppose my battery got down to 0%. Isn't it?

So are you saying that if the battery really gets drained to 0%, there is no way you can recharge it?
Dude seriously ace battery takes 3HRS to charge... Morning 8 i left it from charging(15%) now its 10 AM here showing 100%.. Stil charging.. Once i charge it for 3 HRS i ll get around 24HRS to get it till 15%.. I dint wipe battery stats after flashing myth two days back

what, is there no difference between a dead Li and a Li drained to 0 % ?
I got my gs3 yesterday, and it came with about 50% battery. I charged it overnight, and am using it now...do I need to run it down to 0% then charge all the way back up to 100? Some say I do, but I thought li-ion batteries didn't require that. Also, should I run a battery calibration?
Thanks.

No, you do not need to do anything to the battery. Charge it and use it normally.
Also, battery callibration does nothing that your phone does not already do on its own.

No you shouldnt let it go all the way down to 0%. Lithium batteries are designed to be permanently charged. if you discharge it completely you can damage your battery and/or the capacity goes down. So the best thing to do is charge it and when it is full just take it of the charger and dont leave it plugged in :good:
Hope this answers your question

Hi again.
I tried again different roms , Stock , Custom.
Used many kernels stock and custom.
My battery drains with 15 min screentime and 6 hours standby to 59 percent.
What the hell is wrong with this phone....
Hope someone can help me or i really will break it in 2 pieces!
We'd need battery stats screen shots and info from betterbattery stats or gsam.

Have you ever had a good battery life on your S3? Look at this point of view... maybe the battery is general-degraded or it wasn't a good quality even from the beggining...

You have a rogue app chewing your battery causing wakelocks and not letting your phone sleep properly as suggested above get betterbatterystats and let it run for a full charge/discharge and then upload the screenshots...

What is your screen on time?
Bear in mind 1% an hour would mean the phone lasts 100 hours (Over 4 days!!!) most of us who use their phone have to charge every night.
Only 30 mins
Not great but not terrible. You can often expect 1% every 2-3 minutes with screen on
And you have an hour of not "good" signal

Yes, results are not so bad. You can disable Wifi to save a little battery (the first kernel wakelocks).
