can you please be a little more specific about what to do??
i don't really understand what calibrate mean? and i didn't change the over clock at all
Download the battery calibrator from the market. Charge to 100, then calibrate. Maybe your phone is not getting into deep sleep.

Go to my Battery Guide stickied in the Q&A section and see if any of those tips apply. In the 3rd post, there are apps that will help determine what is draining your battery.
Download Betterbatterystats from the 3rd post and run it. Post a screen shot of Partial Wakelocks/Since Unplugged and we'll see what is draining your battery and move on from there.

first of all thanks for your quick help!
now i did take a pic of the screen and i will do the battery calibration app, but after the instillation of the ROM i did go to the CWR and did wipe battery status but it did noting.
thanks again for your help
Can you give a screen shot like the above but with a little more time on it than 4 minutes? Maybe with a few hours on it. That way we can see a little more info. All that is on that screenshot is the modem initializing and your media scanner.
Also when you wiped Battstat in CWR, that was the same thing as the Battery Calibration app is doing. Just the app is easier in that you don't have to boot into recovery to wipe them.
Do the battery calibration when your phone is charged to 100%. A buddy of mine was having awful battery life, turned out he wiped his battery stats when it was only half charged and then it seemed to charge only half way.
Charged it to 100%, then calibrated and viola.

Perfect. You must have either your GPS or Network Location on all the time. That is what is killing your battery. Do you use Maps/ Navagation a lot? How about apps that track your location like Foursquare/Twitter/G+ or FB (even apps like Angry Birds do this crap). Find the app that is broadcasting and you'll find the leak.
I have the MLB At-Bat app on both my phone and my tablet and on my tablet, I allow it to use my location so I can watch the games. It is a wifi only tablet and I have the wifi policy to cut off when tablet is in stand-by mode. On my phone however, I manually turn it on/off when I want to watch a game, so it never interferes with deepsleep and not broadcasting my location using GPS and battery at the same time. See where I am going with this?
I am betting that you don't get into deepsleep much because of the wakelocks interupting the sequence. Install CPUspy and let it runs for a few hours. After a bit, open it up and I would venture to say that your DS will be minimal.
Let's solve your battery drain first and then we can put on our tin-foil-hats and I'll show you some apps that are tracking you.

i don't use at all the GPS or maps or navigation , i canceled all the location services in the settings !
i have no idea how to Find the app that is broadcasting?
i uninstalled a lot of apps after what you wroth me but still no change
i have a felling that all of this is happening because of the devil3 kernel, just after i installed it the battery went low!
Do you have the devil configuration app?
If so, what are your settings?
I run the devil kernel on both of my devices and I average about 28hrs battery life with moderate to heavy use.

Now that is frickin' comedy! On a serious note though, it does get frustrating chasing these things around. After I flash and get everything setup I make a nandroid.. Then when it happens I skip all the trying to find the culprit business and reflash and restore from scratch. I would rather have the hassle than be annoyed lol.

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?

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.

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.
My phone is experienceing severe battery drain whenever i use an app.
i tried switching between the leedroid v5.4 and nonsense 3.1 roms but both had the same problem anyone know a fix.

I noticed that my phone does that when I am in a weak service area. The radios use a lot of juice trying to get/keep a signal. You could try Better Battery Stats or Bad Ass Battery Monitor to see in more detail what is using your battery.

you can also try to calibrate your battery with serval apps! type in play store : battery calibration ! they all do the same job and preaty good i must say..
i recommend you to try : Battery Calibration free . thats for rooted users and does great job!
Alright Thanks
I sorta realised it was due to my connection as my school has a really bad reception and thats where teh majority ofteh drain occurred will download that app
My personal experience!!!!! Flame me not!!!!!!
Ok here goes:
I don't use any battery calibration apps or system tuner or task killer any more. I test my battery like I test my gas mileage: ALL THE FRIGGIN' TIME!
I've found I get better battery life without these extra apps. However, I also completely strip all ROM's I use of completely unnecessary apps and their respective widgets (HTC News, HTC News and Weather, Jetset Printer, Stocks, Twitter, Picasa, Google +, etc.)
Now, the only app I would recommend and have heard from multiple sources and threads is Better Battery Stats. It has a nominal fee, however, is worth it. I will show you what is draining your battery.
You could also have wake lock problems. Who knows? Get some diagnostic info to post to better help those trying to help you. Help me, to help you! LOL!

Flame on! Just kidding. I also have never calibrated my battery as it is useless according to the Android engineers at Google.
The reason I also recommend Bad Ass Battery Monitor is because it is a little more user friendly.
Also, there is an xda version of Better Battery Stats that is available in these forums for free, although the Market version is cheap and supports the dev.

i have some problem, when my screen active, i put it to my pocket, then my body touch the screen and do random process abaout 45minutes.. done with 40% battery gone x_X.. i think u must tell us how long u use app
You can use battery calibration. you can find it in the android market
Have you tried reset battery stats then full charge, use it for a couple of minutes then full charge again? Don't know why it works but I have used this method on a couple of Roms and it seems to help
try clearing your battery stats full charge ur battery n then let it discharge fully then full charge once more n recalibrate it..should work
The main factor for preventing battery drains is to have a good modem that doesn't overheats the phone, using a ROM with deep sleep and a battery friendly kennel like Siyah or Fluxxi. Try to get those three things fixed and you should not have any more battery drains
Turn auto brightness off also make sure none of your apps are using your GPS all the time. I think the problem may be app related I would roll to a stock kernel and only use apps that are must need and see if that helps. Also your battery could be shot . How old is it ?

Hi guys,
Is anyone having battery drain issues with their new sgs3's?
With my one it wouldn't last 12 hours without dying. Also if its at 100% it'll drop to 70% overnight while i sleep (6-7 hours) and thats with power saver on, sync off and running juicedefender.
Today I factory reset the phone and only installed flash, whatsapp and dolphin browser. Have wifi on, sync, data, gps and bluetooth off. Havent got pictures of battery stats yet since I only reset it half an hour ago.
So is anyone else experiencing battery drain? if so have you fixed it? and how?
Are there any apps I should be aware of that drain the battery?
I would remove juice defender.
Uninstall lightflow app if you are using it.
Use betterbstterystats to identify any wakelocks. The xda thread of the same name will be able to help with solutions.
Other than that follow general tips on increasing battery life that are found all over xda.
This device is easily capable of much better battery life than you are getting.
Good luck.

No issues at all so far, in my case. In fact this is the first Android phone I've owned that has no battery-related issues
Based on my previous experience what you can try doing is (a) install CPU Spy to see if your phone is entering 'deep sleep' appropriately (b) install BetterBatteryStats to identify offending applications.
Even the 'Battery' section in settings is useful -- just check if any apps are keeping the phone awake for longer than you've actually used them ('Stay Awake' number).
ok well ive installed bad ass battery monitor since its free. Also since I did factory restore i charged it to full and in 1 hour 44 mins it used 7% on idle. Going to charge it to full again and use it normally to see how it is.
Only apps ive installed is XDA, badd ass battery, dolphin browser and whatsapp.

Not too happy with my battery either. Fully charged over night and its down to 89% 1hr 30 later. Is that normal? However, you did mention lightflow earlier though which I have installed - Is that a massive battery drain? My battery stats seem to show display as being the big culprit but I have brightness set to it lowest setting.
Also, can't seem to find battery monitor pro on play?

I'm on Omega V4.0 and with wifi always on, fully charged 3 hours back and when i woke up it's 95% remaining. So about 1.66% loss per hour in sleep mode. With regular usage and installing and testing different roms and backing up etc them i easily get about 8~10 hours. Phone's made in Korea and battery mfg date is 2012.5.6.
Plus tons of widgets on home screens.
Can somebody help. My sgs3 battery seem to drain like a loose drain. I charge 100% at 12.30am and go to sleep but by 5am battery is completely drained and phone is dead off. This is not the same during the day. Are there processes running when the phone is Idle that brings about this massive drain. Please I need help asap.

There is obviously a problem if it's dying in <5 hrs.
Did you recently connect to Kies because I was having probs with my SGS2 getting really hot and losing power as a result of Kies/a dodgy USB lead?
A factory reset solved it however ( remember to back up ) but sometimes just removing your battery for 90 seconds to reset the values works.
Good luck.

Turn off Google backup, face awake, try that for starters
First of all, switch off your phone for a while to see if there is problem in battery or its the apps you are running. If you think it is a stupid step,
Then try using some software like JuiceDefender or something.
In app manager, kill apps that are useless.
Also turn off features like bluetooth, gps etc. if on.
Reduce phone's brightness, recommended to set it to "auto".
Turn off useless vibrations and LED notifications.
You should now see significant improvemance in battery life.
Hope this helps
I have taken all these steps gone ahead to remove live wall paper, auto sync disabled, brightness is set at auto. And its still the same. I don't want to tow the line of hard reset because am not sure that would solve the problem coupled with the time it would take to get my sgs3 to suite me

I use juice defender which manages everything for me, an overnight schedule ensures the battery only drops by 1 or 2%

okay so i thought i had a battery problem before i tried putting my phone aside (meaning no games, no internet browsing and no video streaming nothing, just using whatsapp and leaving facebook connected. I also have lots of apps and games installed over 15 or something)
If you decreasing screen time you will notice a HUGE difference (24hrs in my case), its basically down to usage, I have tried over 10 different roms and kernels as well as the v6 supercharger script, i dont ever notice the difference, EVER. unless of course i use a minimalistic rom with almost nothing to play around with, but if thats how u like it then go for that. Id say following all the fundamental steps will take you a long way
my final advice:
less screen time
when on the screen use the least brightness available
decrease stock brightness even more if you can
less app usage
if your not one to constantly play with your phone and customize stuff on it try installing a minimal rom like
|ROM|XXBLG8| IOIDroid Super Slim Edition | Buttery Smooth | V1.0.0 LIVE !! |
or
[ROM][4.0.4] Slim ICS (SGS3) - Clean, Simple & Fast (63MB)
i dont know if this is a placebo of not, but sometimes i notice improvements when i undervolt, underclock and limit to only dual core. believe it or not sometimes it has little or the adverse effect of saving battery
good luck man
And another question, which can be solved through the search function or Google -.-

So here is my experience. Have been using android for years, have had an hd2 so I know how to get good battery life results. For some reason I easily lost 15-20% overnight with just the gsm 2g radio on. No matter what I did it drained fast even though deep sleep was fine, all extras sync and etc were off. 3hrs screen on time in 14 hours and it was dead.
I kept waiting for an update to solve this and it never came even though I was force checking it.
I ended up factory resetting the phone and as soon as it booted up an ota update popped up. Since then I am having nearly 6hrs screen on time in 40hrs,which is amazing.

I will try the juice defender route and hope that it solves my problem or else I will be forced to tow the hard reset route.

Greetings, I have seen a similar problem back in our hox forums. I have come here in peace to help, though. Recently, someone suggested bump charging, it's like a natural way of making your battery recalibrate itself without wiping battery stats or stuff like that.
First off, charge the battery until it says 100% while the device is on.
Then remove the charger, turn off the power, and charge again.
Remove the charger again when it says full while the device is off.
Turn it on again, then when it's properly booted, charge again, but don't use the device until it says it's fully charged already.
Mind you, we're not sure if it's just a placebo or not. Some claims to have had better battery life after doing this for once a month. I haven't tried it yet, but I thought I could share it here too.

I saw this method being used with good results (reportedly) on my SGS2 so it's definitely worth a bash if you can't be arsed to reset.

Just to offer two cents from my experience with this phone.
I recently got a replacement for my s3.. the details of that are for another post, but this relates to battery:
when I first got the phone i started using it right away. I did not charge the battery until I got to the office and charged the phone while using it the first day.
when I got the second replacement phone I already had a second battery.
This battery was fully charged and immediately used that in the new phone. fully charged the samsung battery before I used it.
I noticed significantly better performance with the second phone. I think it was because of the way i treated the battery strait out of the box.
any one agree, or have a similar experience?

Can somebody help. My sgs3 battery seem to drain like a loose drain. I charge 100% at 12.30am and go to sleep but by 5am battery is completely drained and phone is dead off. This is not the same during the day. Are there processes running when the phone is Idle that brings about this massive drain. Please I need help asap.

Do you have an Exchange account set up?
After the newest update i also notice that it has a high % drain even if i turn 3g off, gps and everything nothing unusual runs in the background that can explain high drain yet it does.. and i didnt notice that before the latest update and i havent installed any weird apps. I also have all my weather and news on manual update so i dont get what can drain the battery with internet off overnight.. its frustrating a bit.
hey guys
I am having a lot of problem with custom ROMs. please help.
Every custom ROM i install, after the very first charge cycle the ROM lasts extremely good for one full day with my complete usage as well. but as soon as the second charge cycle is finished it doesn't even last 4 hours whether i use or not.
I install only the regular apps and hardly 5-6 of them.
please post your valuable advises and suggestions.
would help
thank you
You need to recalibrate your battery dude.
Let your battery die.
Then with your phone off charge to 100%.
Then remove battery for 5 minutes to reset fuel gauge chip.
Replace battery, turn on phone and enjoy

still the same problem
but when on stock ROM, the battery runs all good.
That's because battery 'recalibration' (at least these batteries) is voodoo nonsense
It sounds like a process(es) is causing wakelocks which is causing excessive drain when the phone is idling (from what you've described).
Get BetterBatteryStats from Google Play, then read the BBS thread on here (search for it; if you can't find it, you can access it from within the app from memory). That should give you some clues to help you track down what's causing the drain. If you're still stuck, you should be able to post stats/screenshots to the BBS thread & I'm sure people who post there regularly should be able to help you.
I disagree with your statement about battery calibration being nonsense.
Do some research into the battery gauge chip in the S2 dude, resetting it definitely works
You're right though it could definitely be wake locks too

I used to have a similar behavior. I bought BBS and found that viber was having many wakes, uninstalled it and things were better. Google services sometimes also drains battery, deactivate wifi and data and verify if battery drain continues.

Maybe you are right. ill look into it
You can try GSam Battery Monitor:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nc2FtbGFicy5iYm0iXQ..
It is easier to find an application that consumes juice in GSam BM than in BBS. BBS is very good but more difficult. I think your problem is beeing made by bad application that sucks energy.
You can also try CPU Spy to get known if your device goes into deep sleep mode.
Try turning of location services. It will help but there must be something else too. Did you try CPU spy which shows how much time your phone is in deep sleep when not in use?
