What is your battery life when gaming ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hy,
Can anyone tell me what is your battery life when gaming ?
For me, with brightness at 80 % , I can only play 2 hours with riptide gp, and about 2.5 hours with shadowguns and dead trigger.
Is it the same for you ? At a similar brightness of course !

Mine is bout 3 hrs on nova 3

Mr awesome, 3 hours with auto brightness or with high brightness ?
Cause auto brightness is a bit low for me for good gaming...

3 Hours with low brightness, Critical Strike Portable(Online multiplayer) with WIFI enable.

People still play games on their phone?

Thanks, I wanted to know the difference with the one x I own...
For me it's 2h10 to 2h30 with max brightness (dead trigger, nova 3 shadowguns) and about 2h30 to 3h00 with auto brightness, with my one x.
Of course with a light game like angry birds it last more

btw i bought a 3000mah battery on ebay for like $15.
here's the link to 2850mah I couldn't find the 3000 but i guess its still better than the 2100mah: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/B130-NEW-Gold-2850MAH-High-Batter-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-3-i9300-GT-I9300-/170873010278?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c8d33866#ht_2106wt_1166 :laugh:

Mr awesome,
Thanks for the link.
Excuse me if I ask again, the 3 hours battery life(gaming) is with your 3000 mah battery ?

Battery life issues

Has anyone else had relatively poor battery life? I can barely get through a day of mediocre user and it s saddens me greatly.
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA Premium App
I get about 8-10 hours with moderate use. That includes a bit a Facebook, Internet and texting every hour. Thats good enough for me since im usually not away from a charging port for 8 hours.
If all i do is Facebook and texting then I get about 4-5 hours with it before it goes to 20%.
I recommend to make sure you phone is almost dead, or wait for it to die, put it on the charger for the night while it's OFF. It seamed to help me, another thing i noticed if you have bad signal, you battery will get used A LOT more. i am at 69% after 6 hours and 52 min. display is at 63% so i guess that's moderate use.
Mine starts getting bad after its been on for 5 or 6 days without a reboot.
Don't know if that relates to you guys but it does me

what is moderate use for you? could you post picture with the graph.
Moderate use for me I mean: played game about 30 min, you tube about 30 min, a few phone calls and texts, xda application used about 20 times , downloaded some applications.
Now you can root (!) and use SetCPU to get longer life via the profile settings.

Up time does not reset after charges. Some how i doubt you got 44 hours unless it's just been sitting there doing nothing
Make sure wireless network setting is in Sprint Only mode and uncheck the enable always on mobile option. I get through a whole day easy.

How Long Does Your Battery Last?

hi
i opened this thread to see how long people's battry lasts and if theres a need to replace battery.
please mention your usuage and what rom you are using.
ill start off:

rom: Xperia X10S v.9
usage:
hsdpa all day (unlimited data plan ),synch with google,email,hotmail,whatsapp,network location services.
2 hours of music,whrn im working out,(pandora radio,dont ask me how i listen to a radio thats only available inside the U.S. )
sending whatsapp messages all day(like 5 hours per day)
reading my work emails
youtube videos almost 1hour
calling 30 mins
from 100% to 55% in 4-5 hours,at 1.pm i let my phone in peace.
i got home at 4 pm,then i do a second recharge,go to gym and return home with 80%,then i go to bed with almost 50%,when i get up its in 40%,then i do a full recharge,and the cycle starts again.
overall: from 100% to 0% in 8 hours of heavy usage
not bad for a medium heavy user,and a battery that has more than 2 years.

Mokee v.2: 3 hours in zenonia 4 gameplay non stop. 100-25%
24 hours if not gaming with normal osage(Sms and wifi-ing)
Nice eh?
Batterybay
Bought the 2600mah extended battery for X10 from Batterybay(.)net
light usage it actually goes 4 days and heavy usage in general it's 3 days or less, most usually 2
Because of the large screen(maybe?) reading manga or looking at a pic for a few hours, or basically just keeping screen on for a few hours drains it a lot, I recall reading manga for hours then it reduced to just 2 days or less but overall Im really satisfied this battery even if the extra thickness is quite compromise in looks
I think anything higher that 1900 would need a new back cover so I went for one which would keep it the same.

Asphalt is a CPU + GPU intensive game. It will drain your battery at that rate. Its completely normal.

My phone came off charge this morning at around 4am and because I was pretty busy, by 10am I'd only had about 15 minutes screen on time.
Expected time to use: 289 hours 21 Minutes
But most of my use is something like this
Battery 50% / Usage on Battery 11 Hours / Screen on 3 hours 50 Mins
32% 14 Hours 5 Hours
This is when mostly on wifi
On the one day I slammed the battery on commute to work I got down to around 30% after 13 Hours 40 minutes of use with 2 Hours 40 Screen On, but that included full brightness, only HSPA,streaming music.
Snapdragon 800 + this 3000mAh battery is something else.
Right, that's one of many reason why I bought this phone. I believe the new battery technology implement by Lg is not just a gimmick

Battery life not so great?

Hey guys
I got my ultra yesterday and it came with about 40% battery and it took nearly 2 hours of screen on time to kill it which was amazing
I've given it a full charge so this is my first cycle and battery life isn't great with just over 1hour and 10 minutes screen on time which is worse then my 18 month old s3
Will it get better over time? I've got all the power saving features on
Thanks

1 hour 10 minutes from 100 to 0%? You should get around 5-7 hours of screentime. Just keep using it though and it should get better in a few days.

Just went through the first cycle and it was about 3 hours, Battery seems weird on this device, I unplugged it from full at 100% but I leave it on 100% for about 20 minutes after and it went straight down to 99% where as my nexus 7 doesnt do that :S

Hard to tell if it's normal or not. Are you using any apps that updates themselves frequently in the background? Widgets? Whatsapp? FB Messenger? I've had mine in standby for 8 hours (while at sleep) at 100% before, and it was still at 100% eight hours later, so it shouldn't drop 1% in 20 minutes.
Just keep using it for a week or so, and if it isn't better, you might have a lemon. But again, it's incredible hard to say what it might be. You can also do a factory reset and see if that solves anything. It might simply be a bug or an app that's gone rogue.
Agree with LordManhattan and 3mL.
When I first got it, I had the same questions about battery life. I was literally seeing it draining a percent a seconds. There were some rogue apps, like whatsapp and pinger (textfree), that were constantly doing something in the background. Uninstalled those and got much better results. After about a week or so and a few battery cycles, the battery also improved drastically.
Try some of the apps that monitor and hibernate apps, e.g. greenify and wakelock detector. I'm sure there are others but those are the ones I use.
I had a 2 percent drop last night so not to bad
And im not rooted so I cant use those apps at the moment
Ill see how it gets on

I m on stock rom rooted. using stamina mode while allowing some of the apps to run in background. battery life is great
never let battery life go below 50%. on contrary to popular belief, it is not wise to let ur batter drain completely. for the first few cycles refer to the manual
I normally get about 1-2% drain over night, a bit more if the cell signal decides to play up a but.
Over this week I got 4d 12h on one charge with 12% still remaining - very light usage: 3 or 4 calls, a few emails, a few geo-tagged photos, a note or two with poor signal most of the working day.
Its been rather strange for me, on the first charge cycle I got 4.5 hours of screen on time and the 2nd I got 4 hours
Im now on my 3rd and im at 85% with only 48 minutes of screen on time which isnt too bad but I feel like I have to have low battery mode and stamina mode on just to get it through the day
Hopefully Sony release a fix or 4.4 with better battery life

Well i don't want to be rude, but are you just stare to your screen for 4 hours? Or are you also doing something with the phone?
Because it really matters what kind of activity regarding your battery life you're doing. Smartphones are not battery friendly, get your charger with you or buy a mobile charger.
