Hello all,
This morning, I woke up at 6, as usual, for work. I removed my phone from the charger around 6:30. It was at 100%. I turned off WiFi and put the phone in my pocket. Got in the car and went to work. I look at my phone when I get to work and it's at 46%. I didn't use it for anything in the 15 minutes it takes to get to work. I actually didn't even turn the screen on until I sat down at my desk at 7:00.
Any idea what would cause this? On normal standby with average use yesterday, it didn't get to 46% until 7 pm last night.
I have attached screens. Thanks for all of your help.
Wow... You should get a medal for this record.
Install Better Battery Stats and leave it run few minutes/hours, then post the logs/screenshots here

Thanks for the response!
I will reinstall that shortly. Screenshots of BBS or of the battery screen?
this problem is cause by 4G LTE, i read some of it somewhere. just do a search here in XDA and you'll find some fixes about your problem

As far as I know, T-Mobile doesn't have 4G LTE in my area. I appreciate the reply, though.
oh yeah not LTE but still a 4G signal.
and the top of the list is Cell Standby, as far as I know that is your Mobile Signal/Data battery drain

Would it have drained doing nothing? I didn't receive any text or email in that 30 minute span. I have nothing set to constant sync.

read about "Fast Dormancy".
If your carrier don't support it, you need to disable it because it will drain your battery in standby mode.
here's one thread about Fast Dormancy -> LINK
---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------
also you need to plug/unplug charger (just a quick one) for the BBS to make a reference.
Also, zero widgets on my home screens. Factory reset on Tuesday night. It was great yesterday (Wednesday). Just got the phone last Friday after having 6 G2x's and an Exhibit 4G (after getting the run around from Tmo about the awful G2x).

Well, crap. I won't be able to get to a charger until I'm home. I'll post new screens when I can. Tmo supports 4G, it's just HSPA+, not LTE.

yeah he is right! your device model is SGH-T999
this section is for i9300
it's fine asking question here though but don't use ANYTHING here and put it in your phone. you will brick it!

People said that's because of the 4G. Looks a bit stupid to use so much battery in so mess time. You should still check BBS later. As I see in your screens, the phone had no time to collect enough data. Leave the app started during 1-2 hours and check it after. If possible, don't use the phone during this time. Btw, welcome to xda and a pleasure to try help you.

Exactly, you need to leave it few hours in the same way you left it when spent all the battery.
The differences between the S3 I9300 and SGH-T999 are that your phone is dual-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon with 2 gigs of RAM while our phone (GT-I9300) is quad-core 1.4 GHz Exynos 4412 Quad with 1 gigs of RAM and the firmware isn't compatible one with the other. You can see the diference here: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4804&idPhone2=4238
Alright. Here are some updated shots.
Forgive the duplicates, if there are any.

Damn mate, everything looks okay. Also, looks like your battery is decreasing normal now. You had 30% and now you have 17%. Did you had something opened before? Any background process was running before and now is stopped? If you restart the phone, the battery is still showing you 17% now?

Title pretty much says it all. I have a stock, i777 running on 2.3.6 and yesterday out of the blue, the phone would lock up (not respond to any touches on the screen, the power button or the volume rocker) so I would pull the battery out and restart it. When I did, the battery would drop off like 15%.
I did a search but didn't find any relevant issues. Many people simply complained about battery drops after regular restarts, not after freezes.
Would greatly appreciate some help!
Same thing, it has to do with the fuel guage of the phone

Again guys, this only happens after the phone locks up/freezes which is multiple times per day. Otherwise, battery drain is norma
U didn't say whether u were rooted or not. So I'm assuming you aren't? Which means screen lock ups aren't from undervolting?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Read this and see if it helps..Entropy explains why the battery gets crazy after a reboot. I would assume it would be the same if you had to pull the battery, the gauge i guess would still get reset.

I said I was stock in the first post. Is there something else you need to know? Just to clarify, I haven't modded/rooted/etc. Still on stock 2.3.6 w/ Touchwiz.
The battery issue isn't the major issue, it's the freezing of the phone multiple times a day. Is there a diagnostic tool I can use that will show a log of the processes that were running when the phone froze? That could help me narrow down the issue.

I think you can avoid the battery level glitch by plugging in a charger before you reboot.
Maybe the freezes are being caused by a rogue app. I can't remember what the app is called at the moment, but there is one app that monitors cpu usage and can warn you if an app is using too much cpu time.
Watchdog and betterbatterystats. Yes u can monitor apps. But I wouldn't think an app would just start doing that out of the blue. Hmm. Its really hard to tell ya what to do if you aren't even rooted,may wanna think about doing that. Opens up a lot more options for fixing / monitoring.

Restarts are a [email protected] on battery. Every system app hits at same time. The way charge stays in batt. Anything under about half on batt charge...it will seem to drain quicker. Its the chemical makeup of batt that does it. Think of bubbles in soda bottle... More full bottle more fizz more bang. Less soda... Less bang.... And flat. Keep off any widgets ....they tap batt constantly as well as data...which hits batt. Ahh Physics and Chemistry, love it.
We will sort you out!
Haha it'd not my problem I was just trying to help him out with apps that could monitor. I'm not the op of the thread bro .

I don't think the sudden drop in battery is anything to worry about. My phone does that but the battery level slowly gets higher over time without charging. The actual charge level in the battery doesn't change.
Had the same exact thing happen sort of mine would heat up, freeze, then shut off, restart all by itself but it would hard reset. So my question is, Is it a brand new device or refeb? I got a referb and had the same thing at first it would freeze then after a while it would start heating up then resetting itself. So call warranty dept and ask for a replacement device and not a new battery.

This phone seems to have a hypnotic effect that renders most under its spell incapable of searching before asking questions.
In any case, I didn't even wonder about the signal issue. I assumed it was an incorrect calculation for the simple reason that the S3's battery life is already very impressive. Samsung are good, but they're not miracle workers: it's not possible the cell standby is wasting that much power and the phone lasts as long as it does.
Its an error in the calculation of the power consumed by the radios.
It should be 3.4ma but instead they put in 34ma.
Who knew a simple . Could cause so many repeated threads....

I've gotten 4.5 hours screen time using hotwire's kang and around the same using fj's old cm9 build so it's more than likely a problem on your end.
However, I've noticed that gpsserviceprovider sometimes doesn't shut off completely after using gps and is and preventing the phone from going into deep sleep. Sometimes I would go to sleep with a 100 % charge and wake up with an 86% charge. Searched around and seems to happen on some cm9 roms. A reboot solves the issue though.
Your best bet is to install betterbatterystats and check your wakelocks. Probably some app causing it on your end.

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.

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.

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%

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.

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.

How are you guys getting +14h and have so much battery left? wow!! I'm finally getting decent battery life and was pretty happy and then see your screenshot and get all sad again. I don't think I even got that kind of mileage on ICS
my screenies:silly:
The phone is mint . I have it rooted with CleanROM 3.0
The battery is horrid.
I had a GS4 and that lasted me through the night and used it way more.
Its barely 4 and its about to die. Not to mention I had battery saver all day.

Is this a real post? Guess it all depends on what you are doing with it, which there was no mention of. If nothing, ya, a problem, if sitting watching vids or playing games, well...

lol please install Gsam battery monitor, and betterbatterystats, and post screenshots so we can get more info. Also, you did wipe before installing this ROM, and have calibrated the battery recently, yes? also, its something in rom or apps, my One lasts all day. worst comes to worse just switch to a new ROM.
IBTL,
Please don't think wrong of me, but the title is so, ummmmm...... “ Misleading"
