imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/screenshot2012070614501.png/
Keeping the screen on will dran the battery since that's what screens do.
Regardless of the device (including laptops), screens always take >50% of the battery.
Could you show the screen-on time?

Let me venture a guess. When you get a new phone, you tend to play with it a lot, hence the screen on time and battery drain Give it a few days, it will be fine -- this phone has great battery life.

The battery needs to go through a few full cycles of drain and charge before it's reached optimal performance. First week battery drained more but now it's performing brilliantly.
Just keep letting it drain completely and charging fully a few times and have auto brightness selected.

I've heard that li-ion batteries don't suffer from memory issues and there's therefore no reason to calibrate them or run them in any specific charge/discharge cycle.
If you ask 100 different people about how best to use your battery you'll get 100 different answers. Don't worry about it, just enjoy the phone.
Hmm. This phone probably has the best battery life of any android phone I've owned, and I've had a few.

Yeahh check outt my screenshot..I have set the brightness level to the lowest and still display is taking much battery..even cell stand by.. do i have to fix anything?.. expert advices needed..thankss
Look in the attachments..
You haven't said how long the screen was on for.
I could show this first screenshot and say OMFG the battery doesn't last, but actually when you look at the second screenshot, then there's obviously no issues (and I am indeed perfectly happy with my battery life)

Tripe.
Minimum of 3 cycles to reach peak performance. I have flashed hundreds of roms/kernals, it ALWAYS takes a few days for the battery to normalise.
Op, take a chill pill, calm down, post again in a few days. If you're still having drain, it will be down to an app or your settings.

Regné, Suela
Still the same **** i charged it 3 times and the battery is draining quickly when i'm just in facebook or an app it goes like 2 min = -1%

Your battery is okay. You probably turned your screen too bright or viewing your screen in bright environment. Leaving brightness in auto give slightly more than 2 hours screen time with 3G and push all on.
Facebook sync it's probably your major problem

Battery drain might be bcoz of Jelly bean update itself. I've had my S3 for three months, battery lasted me for 2 days until I updated to jellybean. Now 5 % goes every hour even without using it. I'm sure an update will come out to fix this
If you are still using stock mod, have you removed any bloatware? Take a look in Apps/Running Apps to see weather or not your battery drain is being caused by unwanted/unused applications.

Its doesnt seem that he just did calls.. the display use is almost 3 hrs with 40% still remaining ..
The battery life is dependent on too many variables..

I'm not saying his screen shot isn't real it's just I don't trust people's screen shots as I can take a screen shot of up to 50 hours by basically plugging in my phone and not letting it reach 100% then unplugging it back to 20% then back to 80% and so on.
I'd love to have 18 hours at 50% by playing games and using internet and making calls and other uses but don't think that's possible.

Do a hard reset and use your phone for 2-3 days without installing any apps. If your problem persists you have a faulty device. Here is my battery life using insert coin:

This is because you have wifi/data off when the screen is off.
Most people prefer to have those on to receive notifications.

Wrong, how can you say all I did was making calls when:
1, i attached a picture of my screen on time with 3 hours of usage,
2, when screen usage was 62% while Voice Calls was only 21%

Nothing in your first post stated that my screen shot was fake, even if you did, your statement would still be wrong.
Also if I was an idiot to do what you would,(In bold). The graph in my first screen shot wouldn't be decreasing from (start, finish). It would have shown spikes of increasing.
I think you just really need to read better, and stop assuming everyone lie about their battery screen shots.
There's no point for most others and I to do that,
I posted my screen shots with a simple intention to help OP to achive better battery life on his SGS3.
As I know the phone has the potential.
Thus the reason I stated "using latest wanam lite with persus kernal".
Then you chime in with all these non sense.
I know I have probably wasted 5 minutes of my time writing this as you probably will just ignore the facts.
But as you are a senior member on XDA so please,
The least contribution you can make is by not plaguing XDA with false information and negativity.
People like you make us lose faith in humanity.

Well maybe when you post screen shots you can explain what you used it for instead of just posting a screen shot and going away.
More information is more helpful and will give people a more understanding.
I've seen people in here boasting and showing screen shots of 35 hours but giving no information of how, what battery they used or how they used their phone or what settings they used and when I asked got no reply.
Your screen shot didn't really show much to be honest other than you used a custom Rom.
Lastly I never said yours was fake but just wanted more information.

Its not 18 hours at 50% but its certainly possible to achieve good battery life playing games and using Internet etc.
See screen shots below.
@ OP
Media looks high to me on your screenshot. You may have the media server wake lock draining battery.
As a temporary solution force close the media server. It should be OK until you reboot. Then you will need to close it again.
Some people (myself included) have had success in overcoming this by formatting the external SD.
Good luck

Yeah but how?
I get 5 hours at the most when playing games or using the internet on WiFi and sick of having to charge my phone and don't want to sit near a plug socket in case my s3 overheats or something.
I've got an extended battery coming because I've tried and failed at finding an answer with my normal battery.

Maybe wrong charger, faulty battery and too many apps/widgets in the background?. Better have the device checked if the issue persists.
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).
