Is there anyway to stop my S3 from turning off overnight while on charge? I use my phone all day so the battery is around 10%(ish) when I go to bed so I put it on charge and about 50% of the time my phone turns it's self off over night. I need my phone to stay on as I use it for an alarm. Is there any way to stop this? Is my S3 faulty?

Is it running JB? If so, it might be running the battery down for that last 10% faster than it can charge. If you are on ICS, it should charge just fine. When it turns itself off, does it continue to charge?

It's on ICS (WanamLite Rom) and Siyah Kernel. It appears to continue to charge as the screen just has a full green battery in the middle of the screen and when you turn it on the battery is 100%.

At least it is still charging. I don't use WanamLite, so I don't know if it has any custom low power setttings or any reason it should function like that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
It definitively should not power off.
Try flashing to stock and check if the issue still occurs.
It might be the battery overheating and killing power which _should_ only happen when there is a hardware defect.
Of course it could also be a problem wrth some app or a unknown bug in Wanamlite, hence why you should f/ash stock to test.

So I just got my Rezound last week. I really like this phone but whenever I charge my phone while it is still turned on the battery continues to drain until the phone shuts down. Since I have noticed this issue I have been able reboot the phone 4 or 5 times and get it to start taking a charge while still tured on. I am currently running CleanROM GBE 1.7.5 but it also did this on the Stock Rom. I have deleted the Battery config file using the Battery config app on the market and it still will not charge while the phone is on. I have also tried a few different kernels all with the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or should I just go to Verizion and exchange for a new phone (would rather keep this one if I can get it fixed.)

That could be the charger. Have you tried charging it directly from a PC with just the cable? Does the orange light stay on solid?
Thanks for your reply. I have only plugged into pc while unlocking but have used several different chargers and it is the same with them all. You think it could be the battery or some other hardware issue?
Is it getting hot? I know that there is a built in failsafe that will disable charging upon reaching a specified temperature.
Just got home and plugged in to PC and charged via USB same issue, phone indicates battery still drains. There is a solid red light on when plugged into charger both via USB and outlet.

If you go to Settings > About Phone > Battery Status (or wherever the battery meter is on GB, I forget...), what open applications does it show using the most battery power?

It is the display. I get great battery life just when I plug the phone in to charge it dosnt charge it stll drains battery until the phone dies. I believe that it is actually charging but for some reasons the phone doesn't think it is.

Do you have the option to "Never sleep while plugged in" option set? If the screen is staying illuminated and the cpu is not going into deep sleep mode at all while plugged in, I could see this situation happening...

Just out of curiosity, which recovery did you install?

AmonRA 3.15 It did it before I unlocked and flashed the recovery too.
I didn't think it was related as I've heard cwm prevents charging while the phone is off not on, but I thought it couldn't hurt to check. Good luck finding a solution!

I charged my phone during the night to 100% and used it for a bit this morning. I went to the beach for the day, and left my phone at home. Upon returning (roughly 5 hours later) my screen was stuck on the ATT splash.
I looked at my battery usage to see if anything strange had happened, and I was greeted with the attached image.
I am currently running stock ICS 4.0.3 from ATT. Rooted with Kernal version 3.0.35-Siyah-v3.4.2. I do have a lot of widgets on my home screen, but I have had this same setup for more than 2 weeks and nothing like this has ever happened before.
Pleas let me know if you need any more details. Any and all help is appreciated.

Download batery calibration app from market, charge until you get 4200mv, disconnect charge, calibrate then after succesful calibrate restart phone then dont shutdown until you get force shutdown.
If you cant get 4200mv, wait to the highest value then calibrate
Anyway your signals are very low, it will be drain battery rly fast, try make them highet and keep wifi shutdown

Why does low signal strength quickly discharge the battery? Also does this explain for the gaps in the battery info or is it something else?
Our phones do not require battery calibration. Have you installed betterbatterystats, and watchdog? If not, install them and see if it happens again. I can tell you that it's not the official update that's the problem, as I had it installed for a few days. Almost gotta be a rogue app. You could also try switching kernels just to see if it helps.

Thanks but again, whats going on? If I have been using the same setup for more than 2 weeks, shouldn't an occurrence like this have already happened?
I had a similar incident today running stock 4.0.3. no root. Phone went black. Once I noticed it, I restarted it which it didn't want to do at first. Went to the battery stats and it looks similar to yours. Battery level showed about a 50% drop. Never had that happen before.
Well I am going to try the first suggestion and see if that helps. I'll report back later.
It seemed that the first option worked pretty well. I let my phone sit for 8hrs today, and the battery only discharged to 87%.

Probably kuz it didn't reboot. It looks like your phone rebooted quite a few times for whatever reason, back to back, possibly got stuck in some boot loops too. Id call it a fluke unless it happens again.
And there is no "calibrating" our battery. If you reboot at lower capacities it'll come back substantially lower and then correct itself slowly over time. Its just how our meter works (voltage reading vs mah counter)
Any one else run into this issue? I'll out it on charge over might and still have an orange light in the morning.
Running Energy stock, b6 kernel, with an banker battery.
turn off your phone charge it till its full... boot into recovery and delete your battery stats then check again and see if it goes past 95%
Cool, just checked it and it was finally at %96....this is about 2 hours after it was at %95...I just powered it off...let's see...
Nope, still %95 max. Battery drains relatively quick though that could be fault of the Rom....I dunno anymore.

are you using your phone.. because i usely get a message saying im using more power than its charging..
Im not sure why its draining even when the device is off. Is it the S3 or the battery thats faulty? Anyone had similar experience?

this is the reason why im updating the firmware of my s3. from 4.0.4 to 4.3 jelly bean. im not yet done downloading the stock rom.
by the way what is your firmware? is it because of "cell standby" when you look at the status of your battery?.

my android is 4.1.2. What are the sign that my battery is leaking?
If the phone is turned off and the the battery is discharging it's most likely a bad battery. What's the voltage of the battery when fully charged? It should be 4.2v; if it's less then your battery is bad and doesn't hold a full charge anymore.

I just left my device turned off(as in power off) and saw that my device is heating up. Is this caused by software? does s3 still need battery to function while powered off? I just lost 10% while powered off for about an hour. This is really strange. What process is running when the phone is off?
Dirty contacts ???
anyone else?

Yes I have the same experience.
It seems to be the problem with the phone because I tested this on the OEM battery and Anker battery (3rd party brand with good reputation, not some cheap china batteries).
I never turn the phone on when I tested this, but you can see the battery level indicator when you plug in the charge cable. I had both batteries charged to full (green light comes on) then pull the charge cable. When I replug the cable (and phone is off of course), both batteries can lose up to maybe 1/10 of the level bar as soon as 2 hours!! The level is nearly zero after 24 hours.
I charged up the batteries full again, then took it out and leave it out overnight. The phone shows full battery level when I put the battery back in the following day.
When the phone is switched off, it still consumes battery eg. to keep the clock running, but it should drain really slowly. Maybe it is the problem with the S3 battery level reporting, or maybe something is eating battery. I never felt any heat when the phone is off, plugged in for charging or not.

Me too running on 4.3 experiences the same problem. When i switched off the phone it shows nearly 73% battery. But on morning when i tried to switch on it doesnt get on. After plugged to power source for nearly 3minutes battery charging sysmbol come up. Can any one help.
Hi guys I really need help:
Its been a few months that my s3 was weird. It would drain really fast and when it got to low charge, the screen would flicker and freeze on whatever it was on. Whenever I opened any power hungry apps at whatever percentage, the flickering would still happen. The only way to prevent this flickering was by having it on AC, on which there was never any flickering so the phone was constantly on 100.
However when not on charge, the battery would fall really quickly I'm talking 1% every few minutes. It would then eventually reach zero and die. But the weird thing is as soon as I plug it in to be charged, it would suddenly be 45% or somewhere around there? This confused me I thought maybe it was the battery so i bought a new genuine battery but no luck as the exact same thing happens.. I am out of ideas I don't know what to do. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: UPDATE: Here's an example of what the battery life is like: I started a video recording and it went down 6% in 5 mins then 12% in 10 mins then 18% in 15 mins so it goes down exactly 6% every 5 mins for a video recording. I am not sure if this is hardware or software.

Do you use stock rom? Or custom? If custom then check to see if you have right bootloader and kernel installed or any other custom rom related problems. Or you could just download a stock rom and flash it then check to see if your problem persists, if it does then it might be a hardware problem which we cannot help you with.
Replace battery, screen flickering with a battery above 1% means your device isn't displaying the real charge, I forgot where I read but if you let the device discharge to 0% and wait for sometime your battery will 'charge on its own', know that this charge wouldn't last as long as a normal charge;
I fully discharged an old battery then leave it overnight, I came back with 70% power, went browsing for awhile and the screen begins to flicker at 30% and it eventually froze and turned itself off.
Tl;dr buy a new battery

Yes thats exactly what i thought its not showing the correct percentage. I bought a new battery but problem still persists so I was thinking that my phone isnt displaying the correct percentage for some reason it isnt a problem with consumption instead it doesnt display the correct power. SO new battery didnt fix it. Thanks for your reply.

No need to check all that if you use stock rom and didnt flash any custom rom, use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.batteryapps.batterycalibration and follow all instructions and check to see if your problem is fixed.

No it didn't fix. I either need software that will display the correct battery percentage or just fix this problem or check my phone if it has problems or the hardware?
