how fast?
tried charging it via usb port on a PC/Laptop?

I get 80% in like ~2h. I once activatet the fast charge script.but After i recognized the problem i wiped all and flashed other roms. Might be an Hardware Problem? Everything is working but drains too fast

I don't know autralian voltage, but 2 hs sound about right to me.
Try to find out what is that is draining your battery, what are you doing diffrently since you got there.
Try pluggin it to the pc/laptop, let it juice up and then see if it drops like when charged via AC.

I didnt change anything. Is it possible hat somethings wrong with the Hardware? I got 50 % usage by the display. But i set it to very dark. I dont understand it: (

Has your phone switch from 3G to H or H+?

Yes it switches to h and h+ sometimes. But i think its the same in flight mode.

OK i try it. But in general could it be an Hardware fault?
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app

Try JuiceDefender app. Works very well for me!

I am using an AC switch that generates 230 Volts out of the 12 Volts cigarette thing from our car. Might it be that this is not working fine with my device?

just in case somebodys reading this.. i solved my problem by unrooting the phone and flashed the stock samsung rom via odin. first i flashed the old bootloader to remove the binary counter with an usb jig..now i get more than 24 h with the battery

Battery on new OTA

Hey guys just did the ota update. Now on trip in car and when plugging into car charger, the battery does not show as charging (lightning bolt through battery symbol), but the% in my battery app is going up,.so it is charging.
Anyone else seeing this issue also?

Actually the battery is not even charging. it is not the charger either, as the other two androidphones are charging. Only the atrix doesn't charge. Any ideas anyone?

Offtopic but can you comment if you have battery jumping issues with OTA. And also if you have high "phone idle" usage issue in battery like the rest of us in leaked version?
When I restart phone it goes up 10%..

Let me get that straight? You installed offical OTA update from Motorolla and you have battery jumping issue, right? How on earth they do not know about this bug?

LOL.....they know, they just don't care enough. Besides, who ever restarts their phones on a regular basis? (besides us)
there is no difference between the leaked OTA and the Offical OTA, so yes there is a chacne the battery issue is still there. dont let your phone die complete has you may not be able to flash a different sbf. AND WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT FLASH ANY OFFICAL 1.83 OR YOU WILL HARDBRICK
Does anyone have a "fix" or idea why car charger won't charge atrix, but will charge an sgs2 and arc?
Also the battery is discharging at an alarming rate. Is there a method to fixing it or am I at the mercy of the customer friendly and over productive people at Moto (sarcasm)...

Is this while you're charging it via USB? I got this message when trying to charge it on my pc and I was doing too much stuff on the phone to allow it to charge.
Exactly what the message says: The Rezound can easily pull 500-800mA during sustained usage.
Download a battery monitor app from the market that tells your mA and charging method; I use Battery Monitor Widget.
My issue was my 1 amp AC charger was reading as USB plugged (which is only 500 mA rate). Diagnose that first.
Yes it was while charging and it then drained the battery within 10 minute's, oh and last night it died and wouldn't charge.

slow charging (ac)

very slow charging I'm using omega v23..is there a fix?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Tweak
Tweak AC charging values using ExTweaks or equivalent. Extweaks works only with siyah kernel. Learn some tweaking tips from similar posts.
i have tweaked with siyah but still no use

Same problem here, nothing that I do resolved...
I'm on Omega v23 and phone charges slowly on the Sammy usb and plug charger supplied with the handset but charges in no time on my wife's S2 charger for some reason.
There'll be a geeky reason but I don't know it

This is a known issue in many of the Jelly Bean leaks coming out of Samsung (which Omega v23 is based on).
is the bug still there on omega v24??

What is the approx time that your phone takes to charge??
And what kind of graph does it form..
I just reverted to running check ROM V5+(phenomenal kernel) from fox hound (jelly Bean) on which even after charging for the whole night my phone would just charge like 30-45% with the stock charger...I am testing if the same would happen with ICS I would return to stock and get the charger replaced..
with siyah kernel i increased the charging power to 1200ma and on ics it would charge in 2-3hrs and on jb 5-6hrs

Standard AC charge from zero is 3 - 4 hours .

i get 5-6hrs

Interesting problem:battery

Hi friends, I have a big problem.When I shut down my s3 and open it after 8 hours, my battery discharged about % 12 -15 t,that is, my S3 is discharging when it shut down. Now i ama using Turkbey rom v17 but i have the same problem with 4.0.4 and 4.1.1
What can you say about my problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It doesn't discharge when off, it's a problem with battery calibration when on. Try to shut it off and on immediately and you'll see the same.

Wow, that's super weird... Is it possible that you have too many programs running in the background? I downloaded the battery saver app and it keeps my battery from going on the fritz, might help you too

Well, that pretty heavy usage...
I can do that intentionally by repeatedly backup restore system in recovery, 3d game with all Wi-Fi, GPS, BT, highest brightness...etc
But my daily usage costs me about 250% of battery as I have 3 battery with me...

Ah well overclocked so it uses more battery. Playing games while listening to internet radio on 3g takes a large toll on batteries.. just bought a portable charger to compensate for it
As for the original post, I take it you left it overnight, or haven't used it much for a good few hours. 10-20% drain is normal for a 8hr standby, unless you have battery draining apps (most IM apps, google now, gmapps etc)

Thanks for all the reply.. really helpfull i got a difrent question a really noob 1.. i root my phone.. now how do i remove the pre install apps on my s3?? Do i need a specific apps.. as for the battery issue ny cable already start to act funny it took me 4hrs to get to 81% from 43% gonna change the cable and see if it works.. huuu

One method is to navigate using a file explorer to /system/app and delete apks you don't want. Not the stock one. Use astro or es file explorer. Titanium backup is a very useful tool for backing up apps and app data. Can also be used to uninstall system apps. Both methods require root permission.
As for which apps you can delete, search for safe apps to delete on xda or google and you should come across a thread.
