Hi,
I have had a look around for a thread like this and haven't found one, but I most likely missed one still. I was just wondering what the screen on time that most people are getting with the official polish LIB JB firmware on the i9300. For those that don't know how you go to the battery in settings, then tap on the screen usage. Is it just me or does it seem a little down from ICS. I have seen that standby time is down a bit with the JB but I haven't seen much screen in time information.
Thanks for contributions,

LIB is a little bit more power hungry than ICS. Screen-on time is 10-20 minutes shorter for me.

My problem is I haven't quite been making the full day with my heavy use in the weekends recently after updating but that's just my thoughts.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The battery life is greatly extended imo I read comics amd watch shows fb and chrome xda regularly finding the staying power a lot better before I would have had to charge it every twelve hours currently on wenty hours and 60% left very impressed

Maybe not so weird when sleep policy ignores apps that can prevent sleep and forces tablet in sleep nearly fulltime even interfearing with syncing data while tablet is off.
Also power button triggers sleep all the time meaning wifi will disconnect even if you just uploading some files and wanna turn of screen to avoid pixel burn in.
btw wifi is't broken on this tablet sleep is interfearing with wifi to much triggering when it should't i'm sure tough batery will remain this good if they fixed this properly.

The phone is actually pretty good, especially for its age...
You really need to ditch the stock ROM and try something like Cooked. It will perform better AND have better battery life to boot. There will be nothing laggy about it
Also, keep in mind that playing games will drain the battery quickly on any phone regardless of the ROM.

True. This is very light use. No gaming. Not a lot of screen time even. But it illustrates that the kind of problem that you described is due to firmware, and not the phone. There is a thread in this forum titled Known identified battery drainers that can help you understand how to correct battery issues. Part of the problem can be the rom, or more specifically the kernel, but there are other possible issues to consider. You can configure your phone to get very good battery life, even with heavy usage.
