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

To be honest i was expecting a slightly longer battery life. Judging from what people write around here their battery life is considerably longer than mine.
I was looking at battery drain chart and was wondering if there is an app or another way i can check what contributes to my phone being 'Awake' as from what i see in the chart it's awake alot. Maybe a bit too much.

Upload a pic of your percentages, that'd help a lot with seeing what your problem is and therefore how to fix it.
Oh god, stop making new threads about the battery life. Your battery life is completely normal. Theres a thread JUST like this posted like 30 mins ago, I'll take my reply off it;

Becuase your phone was in use for a lot of that time.
Normally I get 7-10 hours battery life with my semi-heavy usage.
But yesterday I tested to see if I could get more, I only used the phone for four 5 minute phone calls, tonnes of texts, a little bit of web browsing and a little bit of youtube on 3G and wifi. No games or anything, and the battery still had 40% left after 20 1/2 hours.
But with my normal usage as i said, I get 7 - 10 hours.

long story short. Your battery life is COMPLETELY normal.
Just wondering if anyone has discussed anything about battery life with this specific ROM and using Juice Defender Ultimate (or not).
I've done a quick search and didn't find anything and I looked on the viperROM thread and I saw the dev claimed he got 19 hours of battery life on it. I'm only getting around 9hrs on it now.
Any ideas\suggestions?

Try calibrating Ur battery. JDU is good to use. Also grab autostarts and stop apps from running in the background. After calibrating your battery life should almost double.
Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
I use JD and Viper and no problems. Not real sure what my battery life is because I don't monitor it that much but if I take it off the charger at 6am by 4pm when I leave work it is usually around 75-80%. That is with probably an hour of podcast listening and a few other things like texts and phone calls. Not a power user but not completely ignored either.
It depends on usage... i ALWAYS make it a whole day. Light usage i made it more then two, with a bad wake lock that drained 20% before i noticed it.
I'm on Viper and I use not juice things. Here's the battery life I'm getting.

Download CPU Spy from the market and see if you have any widgets or apps preventing your phone from going into DEEP SLEEP.
Hi Guys,
Coming from a blackberry in the past, battery life hasnt been splendid for me at all. Having switched to sgs3, i am running the custom rom and kernel as stated on my siggy.
I am looking to have better battery life if possible. If you guys need more information let me know. I hope the single screenshot is enough.
Please comment if I am experiencing good battery life or not. I am also contemplating to download BetterBatteryStats to check my wakelocks.
Cheers,
Anjoid
P.S Feel free to post your battery life with a screenshot here as well, and I hope to learn more from that. and i cant seem to attach any file. when i click on attach, another window pops up that asks me to sign in. and when i do, it repeats the process.

Please do. There is a free APK of BetterBatteryStats here on Xda.
Since switching to Cyanogenmod9 with DXLF3 modem and Siyah Kernel, by standby battery drain has been between 1-2% with 3G and Sync enabled. It would be even somewhat better if it was von 2G. I also configured the kernel in ExTweaks for better responsiveness on the cost of battery life.
Please specify your usage and battery life. People who only use the phone for the odd phone call experience up to 5 days of battery life, while I usually have 20% left at the end of the day. Totally different usage scenarios.
Also make sure your network supports fast dormancy. To check, dial *#0011# on stock dialer (not Go Dialer!) and check the RRC state if the phone has not been transferring data for some time. It should state IDLE when the phone is connected to HSPA/3G.
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've noticed that lately (couple of months) my beloved Z4 tablet's battery performance is less than optimal.
I'm about to go through the song and dance of battery optimization, but I wanted to find abusive apps.
Here's what I see; battery is being consumed mostly by the bluetooth connection I keep on nearly 100% of the time I'm using my tablet because of the BK50 keyboard.
Is anyone experiencing something similar or has any recommendation?
thanks,

Im using lineage os and some gladly helped me out with battery im sure tis will work on stock rom no root too. Enable aeroplane mode, disable WiFi when screen is off and disable Bluetooth. Not sure why but I noticed WiFi greatly drains the battery having it off makes it last much longer.

I would try to upgrade to the latest ROM and hopefully some Bluetooth settings are reset after this.
If this does not help do a factory reset.
You could also try a search on "bluetooth reset" on xda.
I get several days of usage (reading, websurfing in the evenings) out of my tablet where Bluetooth is normally switched of.
On my SONY XZ where Bluetooth is on but only utilized in the car or sometimes with a headset it does not even make it to the list of battery drainers.
