No, the phone was not charging
Also 2 months back( when phone was running 4.0.4) once the screen of the phone was ON full night ( i forgot to switched screen off manually) and battery was drained abt 60% when i woke up
PS: now the phone is running 4.1.2

I had a somewhat similar problem (except it was Maps, and it wasn't keeping it awake as much as yours was) and couldn't figure out what the heck it was.
Personally I'd reccomend Wake Lock Detector (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en) to see what keeps the phone awake.. But uninstall it after, it can drain battery..

Battery drops %10 in 5mins after charge

hi every one i keep wondering why my battery drops 10 percent so rapidly after unplug from power source. can anyone help me on how to solve this problem?
What rom are u using??
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
My battery drops 1% every minute and it is simply that the battery is getting old and damaged by using the phone while its charging, only use the phone when the battery is fully charged or unplugged.

flash this kernel (kernel_2.6.35_roq-143-paolo) http://www.mediafire.com/?jg3z8pz5n0ob8ps and then charge the battery to 100% and make battery calibration with this tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
What does "wipe battery stats" do anyway?

It erase a file named batterystats.bin wich is containing recharge history and battery amount level. You can wipe your battery stat every time you think that your battery is uncalibrated but i sugest you to do this with full battery recharged.
Hope you understanded my english

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.

Trust me, it really doesn't you said, it is discharging in time just like it is on

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
İ have not a problem with my battery life only with discharging when off ...

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.

Oh come on, that's good enough!
Seems your phone is continuesly awake during all tine, check your back ground apps, I also would like to know your screen on time.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Use an apps to monitor what service / application is running when the screen is off.
For that, you can use "Battery Battery Stats" for example. (available on Google Play).

Battery drain on stock

Hello. I have such a problem, namely my battery drains hard :S Using 3 g internet it can't survive more than 5 hours ( I admit that the screen us turned if for maximum 50% of this time... Is it normal??
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
Also on wifi 1 hour is like 20% baterry :S It sucks because even my LG l9 has better battery time with much larger screen
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
Obviousely screen and mediaserver consume most of it.
You were playing a game or watching a video?
By some tests I did a 2.5 hours HD movie on youtube wifi drained 51-56% battery. Screen brightness,adaptive power saving mode, indoors.
My standby drain is around 1% per hour with wifi on.(no data)
So I think it is normal.

try calibrating your battery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=lv
or reset battery stats manually thru cwm recovery.
