Hi,
I Have a European Samsung Galaxy s3 I9300
I Have something issues about it:
First it is over heating from the bottom back of the phone. The place I mentioned is circled here:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Second its battery is really draining fast. Here are screenshots. I fully charged it. Then I slept. When I woke up approximately 10 hrs later. Battery was 10%
Lastly, when I press power button screen responses a bit late.
Now, according to the info I gave you folks, do you have an idea what my problem is? Is it about battery or chipset or something else?
Btw, device is running Android 4.3, rooted, many bloatware were freezed with rom Toolbox. I use nova launcher. Battery recently calibrated.
Thanks in advance
Really can't say anything about this until you experience the same on a freshly flashed stock rom with factory reset without any user apps installed.
Behind the circle sits the Exynos CPU which will get warm if it's constantly on high load.
A defective MicroSD card can also get really hot and cause battery drain.
Btw you really don't need apps like JuiceDefender on Jellybean, it uses more battery then it'll save imho.
In the battery menu, go into Google Play Services and find out how long its awake for, I find that it will keep the phone awake for two hours. This will prevent the CPU from sleeping causing battery drain and heat

I can't reset my phone because it really holds important info. And I do not trust Backup/Restore apps.
I installed Juice Defender only to try. But as you mentioned it didn't help at all. So uninstalled it.
I removed SD card and Phone became more Stable. Should I use Phone without SD card or will formatting it be the sollution?
But unfortunately Late Response of Power button While Waking up the device still conitnues

Have a read of the threads by people desperate to recover lost data, the s3 isn't a bank vault and you can't rely on it.
Get titanium backup and store copies of the backup on your pc and cloud, then factory reset.

But you do trust your buggy S3 to save your 'important info'?
Important info should be backed up.
Titanium Backup and CWM backup can easily be trusted.
With problem solving you want to exclude possible causes. Your software could be screwed and thus giving you this problem.
That's why you'll need to go back to a fresh factory reset to exclude that it's the software causing this.
This is basic knowledge.
Good luck.

You don't need to purchase it to backup or restore.
If you want to restore from CWM backups and automate the restore of your apps then you'll need the pro version else the free version will suffice.

I restored the pure stock Android 4.3 but nope.
Removing SD card helped a little; but late response of power/home button when screen is off still, rarely, occurs.

try *#0228# on your phone dialler.
then press the button. it should calibrate your battery.
Lag on waking is a feature of 4.3, means the phone is deep sleep.

Hey guys
So last night my phone was at around 90% battery before I put it to sleep for the night. I have a habit of hitting ATK every time I turn the phone off, so that's exactly what I did.
No wifi, bluetooth, GPS were on.
I wake up this morning to the phone being completely dead...I start it up and it has 1% battery left.

Also, is "Wifi Sharing" aka tethering? This is weird because I have never even configured this feature, let alone turn it on and do not want it on for risk of being charged!
Thanks,
Elliott
What firmware version? (settings > about phone, post android version, Kernel version and build number)
As in the older versions the Wi-Fi sharing feature has a habit of sucking battery.
Also you shouldn't use ATK's, they do more harm than good on modern high memory devices.
As @veyka says, avoid using ATK, download BetterBatteryStats and look for any wakelocks that are keeping the phone awake during the night.
Thanks guys I'll stop using it.
It's 2.3.3
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789
[email protected] #2
Build number:
GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
There hasn't been any updates for my phone yet...(Bell) and I don't plan on putting a different ROM on my phone.
Is there another app like BetterBatteryStats? I don't really buy apps.
veyka: why would Wifi sharing even be on on my phone? I have never used it and I seriously hope it's not on because I don't want to get charged for tethering :s

See the link in my sig for BBS, theres an XDA edition.
No its not on, its just running in the background draining battery (Bug in the program in older 2.3.3 roms). Or at least it looks like it is. Its a part of the rom, it comes on all SGS2 phones as standard, you shouldn't be being charged.
The only way to freeze/stop the app is to root, and if you want todo that or not is upto you. But use BBS to check first.
Thanks I will use it tonight to see. Are there any special settings I need to set to get it to read what's causing the drain?
This is the first time this has happened so obviously something must have changed which caused a major battery drain.

Sometimes the fuel gauge chip gets confused after doing something that uses a lot of juice between reboots, like flashing zips (After all battery status is just an estimate), it will correct itself over time, this on the otherhand is drain due to buggy app.
Okay guys here it is:
http://pastebin.com/HU3bys2j
I'm not sure this will be much help to me, though...because battery usage was back to normal today...~70% battery life after sitting the whole night...kind of **** but it is what it is.
First of all update your ROM, you're still using 2.3.3, in some 2.3.3 ROM's Wifi sharing bug was present, update it to 2.3.6, Wifi sharing bug will be gone for sure.
Now about your Wakelocks there is not much there other than some Chat service, in Kernel Wakelocks there is dormancy present, so disable it, disabling Fast Dormancy helped a lot of people, it should help you too.
Swyping from my GT-I9100 via Tt
Thanks.
I'd rather wait for an OTA update or an official update to update my phone...
I also read somewhere that turning fast dormancy off can potentially use more data when using the internet, etc. Is that a load of baloney or not?
when signal is weak, device try to get good signal. I think that is why your bettery has gone.

You may be waiting a LONG time... There is no harm and very little risk using a firmware from Intratech's Official i9100 Firmwares thread. I believe the firmwares in post #2 are from Samsung, and as far as I know the only modification Intratech does is replace the bootloader with one that can be reset using a USB jig.
I also read somewhere that turning fast dormancy off can potentially use more data when using the internet, etc. Is that a load of baloney or not?

From what I understand, fast dormancy causes the connection to drop from HSPA/HSPA+ to 3G if you have NOT been using something to keep an active flow of data under a very small amount of time. So in other words, if you're not loading a web page, or streaming music, and data is generally not flowing to your phone, it will drop the connection to 3G in a few seconds. With fast dormancy turned OFF, it will stay with an HSPA/HSPA+ connection for longer.
There are pros and cons to both sides. You might save a little bit of battery with fast dormancy turned on, but I've found it slows down your online experience, as it takes a few seconds for it to negotiate from 3G back to HSPA/HSPA+.
Hope that makes sense.

Kies sucks. You have to wait for Samsung to update their databases to say your phone in your region has an upgrade (I got tired of waiting after 6 months of being on 2.3.3), and they dictate what version you upgrade to; not always to the latest version.
Check out Intratech's thread I linked above. There are instructions in post 1, official firmwares from Samsung in post 2.
I see.
But how do I know which firmware to download? It's all so confusing...
factory reset and monitor apps installed-simplest way to see what's wrong. If that doesn't help, its gotta be your battery. Also, kill wifi sharing if you're rooted.
Hi
Had a similar prob w/batt drain till rooted and install app called autostarts which basically disabled unnecessary apps from restarting.
Hope that helps.

These are the biggest battery users.
Also we can't help, if we don't know what you use your phone for. If you are gaming a lot, then of course, it won't last long. Share your Battery Usage screen and also, if you have root, then BetterBatteryStats info page of Partial Wakelocks, Alarms and Processes.
i put my lww every night on charger, i have about 2-3 hours on wifi a day and rest is on 3g+ calls and sms
Yup, agree with Someguy.. use BetterBatteryStats and figure out what's been running. Then get Startup Auditor to stop it from self starting or a Root app remover and disable it..

Yeah, that may be, but the thing with smartphones (not just android) a multitude of things can run in the background without you knowing. If something prevents the CPU from going into sleep mode all the time, your battery life is gonna suffer.
Check that first. Odds are it's something you installed. In which case, sure, a factory reset can fix the problem but it'll come back once you install that app again.. Get the point?

Don't use taskkillers at all.
Task killer kills the apps and if these start automatically again, it uses more power.
It is better to leave the app running than closing it and then it starting itself again. Android kills some apps or places them to cache if RAM is needed. Android doesn't work the same like Windows.
on those screenshots you have running
facebook sync--> put 1 hour sync
google talk --> shutdown
screen timeout--> 15 sec, and reduce brightnes to half
network--> try switch to 2g
battery try to calibrate, when phone shutsdown put on charger, when is full go to cwm and wipe battery stats and again discharge battery do this 2-3 times, if isn't better take your phone to service if you stil have waranty, waranty on battery is 6 months, i hope this help

Is completely normal with smartphones. The batteries do not last very long on smartphones.
ICS uses a lot of phone's CPU which results in more battery usage. You can do nothing but wait until SONY does something about it in next update!
Hi all,
I'm totally out of ideas and search terms. Basically after I've rooted my phone and had Psycho Mantis with Siyah kernel on it, the battery was experiencing issues.
To give you an indication, it drains the whole battery in one day with minimal use.
Last week I was out somewhere for a greater portion of the week, and since there are no (decent) receptions, I turned of data. When I got back to civilization, I had my data turned back on.
Since then, the battery was being drained even more! Now my battery will struggle to live half a day.
I've looked at battery stats threads and this and that, installed different battery stats apps, but just don't know what's wrong.
I've became so desperate on this issue that I don't know where to even look further, so if anyone had experienced this problem, or knows whether there are any trustworthy sources that I can investigate this further, please let me know.
Thanks in advance

If you have better battery stats app you can post a dump so I can see what's using your battery. Also download cpu spy from the play store to see if your phone is deep sleeping.
If you have any widgets that sync, delete them, if you're using Facebook use friendcaster, turn off gps and location settings, you can try to underclock your device to 800mhz, use the lowest brightness settings, turn off the hardware keys and bln, you could try indervolting but it can be unstable for some devices.
Hope that helps a little

My phone battery life has gotten worse on my week old Samsung device.
I first looked up that there was a problem with a decimal point somewhere in a file. I followed necessary steps online to root my device and flash whatever it was (sorry don't know the jargon, I'm an Apple geek but very new to Android) to sort out my battery problem with cell standby mode showing at 75% in the battery settings menu.
I did notice a difference after doing this for ONE day.
My phone has drained horrendously today after 4 hours after a full charge, I was down to 30% battery life.
Wifi is off, Power saving mode is off (after reading online that it actually drains more power), GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, Sync is off and Driving Mode is off.
Everytime I use my device, I always use Task Manager and "Remove All" then I clear my RAM (which always closes 22 apps, even if I've just sent a text!)
This phone is driving me crazy with this issue and I'm about ready to throw it through a window and go back to my iPhone 4S.
I moved to Android because I didn't like the small screen on an iPhone. BAD MOVE!!!!
If anyone can help me out with some resolution, I'd be grateful. I'm new to Android so this is all just confusing me.
Thank you. :good:
check apps are not refreshing every 15 minutes or so, eg Facebook. Twitter. Log out of Google Talk, its logged in by default. Turn off location history (Latittude) in Maps. Just basically check the apps you have installed.

I shouldn't have to turn off Facebook and Twitter to be fair. My iPhone never had any problems with them two apps being signed in and being set up for push notifications. I can't believe how bad Android actually is.

The Facebook app for android is a pos, its a known battery killer. there's a new one coming.
Losing that much battery in 4 hours is a bit much though. How much screen on time?
Maps kills battery too, network location service. Leave GPS on, turn off wireless location, if you get what I mean.
GPS is only used when an app is in use, network location is pinging away in the background all the time.
Android isn't bad, its just not a kids os like iOS, it takes a bit of learning to get the most out of it.
Once you start delving into it you'll get hooked.

I was at work during those 4 hours so I literally wasn't using my phone at all. The phone screen was locked and in my pocket.
I got it out on my break and couldn't believe just how much my battery had drained.
com.sec.android.app.launcher was showing at 23%
Android OS 20%
Samsung Syncadapters 9%
Android System 9%
Twitter 8%
eBay 8%
Screen 4%
I don't know the rest cos I just took a screen shot to send it to my friend to ask what the first one was.
I really can't see me and Android getting on to be honest, which is a shame because I love the actual handset but I really don't like the operating system at all.

Launcher?!? Damn, that's unusual.
When an app does that its called a wakelock, it happens sometimes.
You could try something simple like a reboot and that might solve it or you could go to settings > applications manager > all > touchwiz home (something like that) and clear data.
Alternatively you could download a vanilla android launcher like nova or apex from the play store.
your launcher is your home screens and your app drawer.
Search xda for "betterbatterystats" and use that app to see what else is causing these wakelocks.
Repeat the same thing tomorrow and that'll give you precise info on the troublesome apps.

dont clear ram! everytime u do that all the apps have to re-open and it only drains battery.
try to let android handle the ram.
and also let the battery drain a few times and charge at once.
battery should last at least 24 hours with 2-3 hours screen time.
also use wifi rether then 3g

no need, solving the problem is better than just pretending it doesn't exist.
1 more hint, buy juice defender ultimate from Play Store.. A brilliant app to defend draining juice!

Sorry but no, I completely disagree, that app is not that good.

Because I was advised to by the man at T-Mobile
Hey, but where is your point, if you really don't like Android and you just want a bigger screen get the new iPhone 5.

Just getting the better battery stats app. Charge to full. Leave unchanged overnight and when you wake up in the morning, see what is causing the drain and fix it.

Seriously, what are you doing here? It seems like Android is not for everybody, at least it's not for you... You are doing something really wrong to have that battery drain, or your device is defective.

What rom are you using?, App's? did your update your phone to the lastest official version?, Maybe it's not your phone, maybe it's the software you are using, maybe the android version, maybe your are doing something wrong, give us more info to help you, just dont say "no..." to every aswer the people give you, be polite!
Trying to figure out why my battery life is relatively crappy (usually averaging >8% drain/hour under typical use), even when I'm not using the device.
Anyone on Marshmallow (Android 6.0) able to experience the 'Deep Sleep' processor state? I cannot, and I'm trying to determine if there's a particular app (or more) that's causing wakelocks, or if this is just something I need to live with. Without root, it's nearly impossible to tell what's causing wakelocks directly.
If it is an app, I can try to find it, but I really don't want to uninstall and then selectively re-install hundreds of apps only to find out that the device doesn't sleep anyway (if rooted, I could freeze all user apps and then slowly unfreeze, but that's not an option without root).
To be clear, I'm NOT talking about the Doze feature that comes with Android 6.0. I'm talking about the Deep Sleep processor state that is below the low (384Mhz) processor state.
On all my other previous devices, I've achieved this state - granted, most of these were rooted, and I had custom ROMS and custom governors. This device seems to use the Interactive Governor. Maybe that governor doesn't sleep at all?
Anyway, if one or more of you confirm that you're achieving this state, then I'll burn some more time on it, otherwise....
thanks!

I'm getting deep sleep. The battery drain could just be the phone itself. My battery life on the v10 is also pretty bad.

Thank you. Here's mine. Notice zero deep sleep in many, many hours. I feel like this is something that has changed.
Confirming - you're on Android 6?
I guess I'll (reluctantly) do a factory reset and add my apps back. Thanks.

Yes I am on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I'm assuming your also on 6.0 also? Try check your wakelocks on your v10 and see if there is anything unusual.

Yes, Android 6. Unfortunately wake lock info is all but useless without root, unless the offender is really obvious.
I uninstalled almost 130 apps, and this far have reinstalled a little over half. The good news is that she's sleeping again. The bad news is that I'm still not sure which app was causing the issue.

A factory reset helped me out after the update
Be thankful you aren't me right now. I just rooted and put xposed on my phone and my battery is draining from 100% to dead in about 2hours 45minutes...with no screen on time. Granted I'm using wifi tether but still that isn't good, nor normal. When I'm using the phone it's dying at an extreme rate; Like phones from 4 and 5 years ago would. Battery usage says android system is causing most of the drain. Something is seriously wrong ><

That's just wrong. Did you change out the ROM for a custom one, or just root? You might want to try a full wipe and start over if you haven't already.
Truthfully, a couple months ago I debated not taking the MM upgrade so that I could root 5.1.x. - ostensibly to give me more control over battery-related information and activities. I took the upgrade, and - now that my device is sleeping again - I'm kinda glad I did - Android's getting better at controlling rogue apps and with other battery saving methods (e.g., Doze mode). I guess what I'm saying is that if you can't fix your massive drain issue, you could always unroot and take the upgrade ...

I got it sorted. Back to normal battery life.
I was actually on MM for a while but I had to get another phone because my old one started having some screen issues and the one they sent me had 5.1.1 on it so I decided to go ahead and not upgrade this time so I could root and have xposed. For now I'm sticking with 5.1.1 Now that I have everything setup I'm getting great battery life. I got over 4 hours of SOT time yesterday and today 6/6/2016 I got over 3 hours of SOT and 2 hours of tethering and about 10 hours overall before having to plug in.
Once I wiped after OTA my battery was WAY better.
I'm having a serious battery drain problem that i cannot figure out. I'm on mm 6.0 and the phone won't doze nor deep sleep. I did a factory reset several times and it's still eating battery in a ridiculous manner. Any help is appreciated.

Did you try it after the factory reset but before adding back your apps?
Got any screen shots to share (e.g., from a battery monitoring app)?
