I'm curious. I have an S2 now and can get around 5 hours of "screen on time" if using Wi-Fi or 2G, a lot less if using 3G.
Your S3 had a bigger screen, but also a bigger battery. How much screen on time are u getting?
Thx for replies.
Swyped from Outer Space
There are already many thread about this. Anyway,
4.5hours screen time with 3g all the way.
6-7 hours screen time with 3g off
4-5 hours screen time with 3g off and gaming non stop.

Is that on stock? Or custom? If custom what are you running because I don't get anywhere near that.

with about 14 hours on battery I get about 6-6.5 hours screen on - wifi on most of the time, 3G on when wifi is not on. Facebook, ebay, Internet, Tapatalk, bit of gaming - this is heavy usage using Omega 11.1 and speedmod K1-6 kernel.

Well personally, I've been managing two days of battery on this device no problem (compared to nearly 1 day my previous phone)
Usually doing light stuff like reading e-books, surfing the web, watching videos and checking e-mails.

I get around 4 hours of screen time with 2 hours of 3g + heavy web browsing, gaming and music. On Paranoid 1.96a and Siyah 1.5b6.
I get about 5h screen on time while using it for 2 days. When i'm at home wifi is on - on the go mobile data is on. I always have 2g/3g auto enabled because i have very good 3g coverage here anyway. Brightness is mostly on "auto" as well
And its basically like heaven after my DesireHD that got to 2-3h max with custom rom/kernel and many battery saving tweaks, undervolting, having brightness set to minimum.
My SGS III is completely stock with root and some bloeatware freezed and i get more
Thanks guys. Overall, sounds like it does better than the S2.

Hi I'm using Nightmare ROM and I'm getting only 2hours 30 min of screen time. I mainly use my phone for calls and whatsapp. I have 3g network but most of the time I'm on WiFi. How do I get better battery life? I have done a lot of reading on wakelocks n I'm getting this result (battery life was much worse earlier. It completely drained in 6 hours ) would a different kernel help?
I usually keep all these settings off
GPS
Screen rotation
Bluetooth
Smart stay
Sync
And brightness is on lowest.
What am I doing wrong?

Can't believe your screen is only at 33%
Huge sign of not using your phone
Guess you using the app to take your screen brightness down to 1 on top of that?

1% for 2 minutes , 100% is 200 minutes which is a little over 3 hours .
it could be "normal" if battery dies in 3 hours more or less.

I know, for example now, I have 3 hours screen on, music and Wi-Fi, still has 38% battery, 38% can easily last 10 hours or so of standby with Wi-Fi or 3G. Which isn't usual for me because it used to be battery dead by now .
Just wanna say, be happy with what you have, more you expected, more disappointed you will be.

Guys please provide a screen-on time when posting screenshots. It helps a lot more than just looking percentages.
Both my mega i9205s get between 4 and 5 hours of screen on time with about 20 hours of standby time consistently. That's with either wifi or hspa+ constantly on, full screen brightness, sync, air view, full volume and full haptic feedback, alot of gaming and browsing, plus calling and streaming videos and music's to my cars stereo.

I'm really happy with battery life in general - very good with intensive use.
The only disappointment is the standby time with minimal use. At times I want my phone to stay in standby for as long as possible (times when I disable all mobile data/Wi-Fi and pretty don't use it at all so no screen use as well) and this is where Mega fails big way. With such big battery I would expect it could go for at least as long as my Note did, but it won't do any more than 2,5 days (where my Note at times could go for 5 days).
Are you guys seeing the same thing? I've seen somewhere on the web the same thing mentioned and a remark that a software update may resolve this issue. Apparently something to do with excessive battery drain by the cellular network module.

If you turned the phone on and used it for 30 mins and then idle it for another 5 and 1/2 hours and it died... then something is wrong.
Rouge app causing wake ups 100% of the time?

Sounds to me like the NSA is on to you my friend.
From the looks of your screen shot you have alot of things running in the background. Emulator, torrent and media servers drain battery quickly. I can get 2 days with my setup. But if I play words with friends my battery is dead in 4 hours. Some apps are just battery leeches. What Rom n kernel are you running.

Holy crap you have your screen on alot. What is your screen on time? If you are getting 4 or 5 screen on time, that isn't bad. Looks like your phone sleeps when screen is off which is good. I just think you are killing your battery with on screen time. Most people saying they get 1 to 2 day use don't have the screen on that much. I usually get 5 hours of screen time on 4g. However my 5 hour screen on time spands over 15 hours. Also depends on what you are doing when screen is on... Playing games drain vs checking email for example.

Real measurements are whatever YOU use the phone for. I don't get LTE at home so wifi is all I have. If you want a "real" test turn the brightness up all the way and steam videos. Your statement makes no sense.
Makes perfect sense. I have unlimited like tons of other people. Its a phone. Not a tablet. You're not going to be 24/7 on WiFi. To measure real battery is to be on a tower. Not your home internet.

After 5hrs I am at 60% remaining – LTE, Sync off, Falcon pro widget with hourly updates, 2 hours screen on with brightness @ 20%, about 1hour youtube, 1 hour music, 1 hour Streaming music (Tune in Radio & Pandora), 30 minutes browsing, 10 minutes calls.
GSam estimates 9 hours remaining with similar usage pattern.
My GS3 would have been 20% remaining by this time, very happy with the battery life.

Looking at some of your stats it seems like Chrome is a battery hog
It's used 15% of my battery so far compared to 26% for the screen being on 3 hours.
Im impressed with the quickness of the charging time. All results below consist of 40% of the time screen at full brightness, and 40% of the time at min brightness and overall average at about 60% brightness.
Drain:
Total use: 13h 52m
From 5% to off went about 25 minutes 4G streaming the Avengers from Netflix at min brightness. A rate of around 5 minutes to each 1% of battery life. (Image1)
Also impressed with the flatline seen here, that was sleep time from 3am to 9am, glad to see it consumed no power (coming from Thunderbolt so this is new for me) (Image2)
Charging:
Total Charge: 2h 20m
With the phone off, from 0 to 61% took 1 hour:laugh:, from 61% to 100% the phone was turned on and mostly idle with the display off other than missing a call and having to make a call - all on 4G took 1 hour and 20 minutes. (Image3)
I had about 4-5 hours of Pandora streaming during all this as well.
Wanted to embed pics but new here so cant post outside links. Overall happy with the battery and power managment with heavy use.
Put it on the charger. Great battery life.
