you may play heavy games?
not removing charger even after 100% is done?
many apps that run in background without your notice?
may be your wifi, gps ..etc are switched on?

'Overheating' is quite vague, is your phone able to fry an egg or does it simply feel warm? What are your battery temperature stats?

These days not playing any heavy games. Sometimes back i played heavy games for long tym bt it never get hot. I remove the charger immidiately as 100% completed. I have monitored through some apps, no apps are running. Wifi is off, i also tried whn even gps is off but no change. If u put phone for some minutes its cpu temp is around 38c and if than u use only for 5 to 10 mins ( surf net or even use normal) cpu temp becum 48-52c.

Battery temp is always 35+ c (even at standby),than if u use for couple of minutes it will becum 46-50c. And cpu temp is also at same range abd sumtyms 50+c. I replaced my battery with new one and also the mainboard has been replaced by samsung sc due to same problem bt problm didnt solved. Still same. On standby battery backup is gr8 but while using it draining so faster than ever.

even mine gets heated rapidly and even cools faster..thats a normal phenomenon i think..my highest temp was 61° when i played too much heavy games(nfs most wanted, gta VC) but nothing effected the battery life !if you have any effect on battery life better consult samsung care !

Previously no problem was there. I visited samsung sc for lcd change. Since then the prblm starts. After that they changed my battery nd board also. Bt problem remains. Is this due to lcd? Mine is continously 50c till m using. It cools only after few min standby.

Samsung galaxy s3 Problem !!

Hello i just bought my s3 yesterday and battery is draining very fast i have used the fix but i have that problem of screen which takes 88% of batery and it's not normal ! here is a screenshot

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.

Yeahh check outt my screenshot..I have set the brightness level to the lowest and still display is taking much battery..even cell stand by.. do i have to fix anything?.. expert advices needed..thankss
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)

lol, I'm a bit OCD about these types of things.
But if it's not a problem then why do we need to do it?

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.

Problem of overheat !!!! HELP...

I have the ROM Omega 9.1 and i Have the kernel Franco.kernel R11.
I have tried all the kernels, but My phone is ever hot.
When I don't use it (the night by example), the phone is at 30°C.
And when I use it , for internet browsing or to see a video, in 1 minute, it goes up to 40-43 °C !!!
It's horrible...
What can I DO?
HELP ME...
revert back to a stock Rom firstly and see if the problem persists.
Alternatively see if any app is hogging the cpu but you would have probably niticed crap battery.
A're you overclocking?

I have tried the ROM stock during weeks... and the problem is the same...
No I'm not overclocked...
this phone is horrible... it's so hot...
33.8c here with light use but its hot in the UK.
I'd expect 50c with some games which is definitely warm and I'd also expect that sort of temp if using whilst charging. Wouldn't worry unless your device starts getting above 55c to be honest. also depends a lot on the ambient temperature.

I think my battery drains too quickly is this right?

Hey all.
In my s3 I played a game for 10 mins and for rest of time I was installing apps and tapatalking is my battery draining too quick?
After full charge in 1hr 20,% lost
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Hey
If you've lost 20% with your screen on constantly for an hour and a half and played a battery hungry game for 10 mins then I'd say you're getting average battery performance.
That side, you can hardly give it definitive answer Based on the info you've given. My advice is to grab Better Battery Stats from Play Store and run your phone normally for a couple of days.
The big problem with this phone is that it's impossible to put down though

ur mobile coverage is rather bad...
could be d cause.
looks normal to me for continue use.. screen, wifi, etc on almost the entire hour and a half. once the device goes idle/sleep the "awake" bar should not be blue, otherwise if it stays blue that means a app or something is keeping it awake.
I had avast anti virus and it was keeping my phone awake.. So I uninstalled that

Better Battery Stats for the apps and wake_locks and cpu spy for cpu sleeptime mate
You can also disable fast dormancy.

That seems normal to me. I bought a second Samsung battery. Now, I'll never be afraid of running out of juice! It's worth it compared to getting a 4,000mAH battery that makes your slim samsung turn into an obese samsung. :fingers-crossed:

Battery issue after root( how to fix)

Ok, after I rooted I seem to be having a strange. Battery issue .. anyone have a fix for this? (I user antutu to control CPU and for now I'm busting using it to monitor+ dropped my phone iinto eco mode ( where it usually is) I can counter bat loss by doing the normal stuff but I never had to do.anything other then turn off data before... and even then... but from 10:50 pm to 2:40 am the phone went from 90% to 12% . And that was ..( eco was off) lol ... but I have never had that happen. Before even with that.
Thanks for any advice

75% it was on the whole time...even though screen was off....
This is the screenshot its a straight drop over the hours mentioned ... slope stays steady so its Constant power drain until I noticed ( you can see on the graph)
None of those apps were open, and I had done a restart right before. ( I fell asleep which is why I know I wasn't using it)

On top of the screen i see the skype is running in backgroud..
Just sign out from skype and also close wifi..
Try it bcz to know the exact battery issue trial and error method of clossing apps is best.

Skype and Words with Friends destroy battery life if you don't completely kill them. Show us the top of your usage stats, not the graph.

+1. Or show both. Apps that stay on data/wifi will murder battery, even on eco mode.

Right after I rooted mine I had terrible battery as well. I ended up reformatting (not wipe, actually formatting my system and caches) and then installed my rom again, fixed permissions and my battery life has been amazing. If I don't use the phone my battery maybe drains five percent all day long. If I use it a lot it will last most of the day as well.

The other thing you should check is you fast dormancy.
If you're flashing custom ROMs it's best to do it at a FULL 100% charge. In the past, before I started doing this, I had major battery life "problems." My phone would drop from 100 to 1 in a matter of hours and just hang on 1% for hours on end. If you haven't done this, download Battery Calibration, turn off your device and plug it in. Once it reaches 100%, turn the device on, run the app, and restart your device WHILE STILL PLUGGED IN. Once everything settles you should be good to go.

Galaxy s3 over heated problem please help :(

Hi guys my galaxy s3 gets over heated while using it
in battery drain analyzer it says 41 °c as temp
is this normal?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
What claims your phone to be overheated?
Only that app or are there other indicators such as the phone being sluggish (it clocks down on overheat)
- Are you in a warm/hot region?
- Is the phone in a full body protective case
- are you overvolting / overclocking cpu or gpu?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I had the same problem with the galaxy s3 the bottom of my phone would always over heat and I think it happens to others my guess would he samsungs kernel there stock because after I flashed my phone and switched to a different kernel my phone quit over heating on the bottom

If you're running games that'll happen. That's where the chips are. If you're getting that while the phone is idle or something use watchdog or better battery stats to find what it is and stop it.
