Hi everyone. I've seen couple friends of mine saying that their S3 last like 2 days. I can't even see the night with mine. I used the screen only an hour but it's already %37. I guess there's something wrong. Can you check it out and tell me if it's normal?

What do you suggest me to do? I bought this from USA but now I'm in Turkey so I don't have warranty here. Do you think if I buy a new battery it's gonna fix?
Get yourself a Battery Mix from playstore, observe the graph and try to find out which application is using the cpu, I mean, see which one is constantly using the cpu even though you didn't use it.
(eg: on my phone google chrome and line are the main culprit)

That´s not normal, i am on Jelly Bean stock rom and rigth now i have 32% left with 1d and 9h43m, with normal use, phone calls, sms, wi-fi on.
I bought the Samsung Extra Battery Kit a while ago. At first I thought it was just placebo, but now I am pretty sure that the newer battery has a 1/3 better battery life than the one the S3 came with.
So I think not all batterys are created equal or degenerate after a few months too quickly.

Hi guys, after a little cruising around the forums I managed to get my galaxy s2 working just how I want! I have a question though... whenever I do a battery pull or restart my phone the battery life shoots down like crazy!? Does anyone else's i777 do this? Is it normal or do I need to fox something. All the roms I have used have this issue for me. I am on CM9 right now. Please share your thoughts! You can see the 2 pulls I did during the day

You should not pull the battery out while the phone is on. Holding the power button for about 20 seconds achieves the same result. Hope this helps

This is something I think all of our phones experience. The way I understand it is a bug in our battery's fuel gauge, the battery level does not actually drop, but the phone just mistakenly reads it that way. I've read a few posts where if you remove your battery for a couple minutes and then charge the phone to a 100% after putting it back in, it recalibrates things. It seems to work for me until I flash other roms, but I cannot confirm 100% if it really does work.
Very true and sometimes its very frustrating to see a drop from 40% to less than 10% right after a reboot.
Will some battery calibrating apps can fix this?

I have an extremely strange problem with the battery of my s3. When I'm at home, where my signal is extremely poor I last roughly a day wasting 40/50% so that's after 15 hours of discharge. When I'm at work I.e walking taking the train etc, just generally at work my battery goes down 70%!!!!! In 5 hours with minimal use. Eg. Screen on for 20 minutes. Voice calls 10minutes. I can sometimes Ferrell that the s3 Is warm surely it can't be because of the fact it's in my pocket causing the s3 bather to start warming up. I have tried using better battery stats but it gives no reference set yet. Can someone please assist in how to check what the culprit maybe? GPS is off Google now is off. WiFi is off power saving is on. All apps have been closed. Is identical to what I have at home.
Run better battery stats look for wakelocks.

Better battery stats isn't working on s3. It says no reference point set yet. It's a common problem being faced by a lot of s3 owners regarding that app. The developer hasn't updated the ap
Wat. You must be doing something wrong. I recommend using v1.11.0.0. Proof below

I have purchased a new stock battery for my i9100. Are there any operations needed to be done in order for the batt to work as it should?
-formatting ?
-battery wipe from cwm ?
-battery calibration with store apps ?
Thanks

Take the battery out of the box. Make sure you use BOTH hands!!
Place the battery INTO your SII, and be sure you don't have an iPhone or another non-SII phone!!
After this TURN ON your Samsung Galaxy SII I9100-cellphone, and - like magic - you'll see it works (if not, charge it ')!

Just use the battery, no need to do anything else If you think (first test it) it behaves weird after a while charge your phone till 100%, turn it off, take out the battery for a minute, put it back in and boot your phone. It's a simple way to 'calibrate' your battery.

I've been experiencing the same problem with my SGS2's battery and noticed that it is getting bloated. I purchased a new one to prevent severe damage on my mobile phone.

Well, I don't know if this helps much, but I've rooted and disabled quite a few background apps. I currently have a little over a gig of RAM free. Anyway, I have 77% battery left, and I have a screen-on time of 41 minutes and it's been 8 hours, 36 minutes since I last charged it! For me, battery life has been a dream.

I ushed 5.75 hours screen time the other day. The battery life is phenominal on this device
Now when you are pushing these times. Please state lte or wifi. If it's wifi it's not impressive

I am unlimited data. Don't use wifi. That is pure 4g.
Yesterday 5:14 screen on time with 13% Battery left
That's with all Syncs are manual (other then work email once per hour) and only air call-accept and quick glance on, all other motion and gestures off
Thats all mobile man 3g/4g i just keep all the goodies off and keep screen auto or even lower. Sync off is importent to. I also use the power saving mode sometimes and it does not impede performance much. Not noticable
got 16 hours out of a charge last night, on screen time was about 3.5 hours

I have the stock CM10 rom installed, and it usually does something like this that only lasts for a few days and goes back to normal. But this has lasted for almost a month now. As you can see in the pic, sometimes its says charging but doesn't "gain" energy, and when it does in drains extremely quickly. When it is asleep or turned off it still drains. I tried charging it with a different cord, then with my computer. Then I tried using a GS3 cord & adapter, it charged faster, but I couldn't tell how fast it drained since I wasn't using it.
Do I need to replace the battery? If I do, will it cost a lot, because if it does I'm just going to get a Note or DNA....
Try using a battery calibration app, people say to use it when you flash a new rom. Also, it might be an actual problem with the battery itself. Try getting a replacement battery if so. But then again, before you do that try going to stock and see if the problem is still present.

once it charges I'm going to see if that will help. and my son deleted my stock rom (long story), so I'm stuck on jb/ics.
Also its recommended after you calibrate to drain the battery to 0% and then recharge to 100% afterwards. And as far as the stock rom goes, you can restore using Odin and download mode
