Has i understand it it is some kind of Samsung service battery information/calibration tool and most posts say don't press it! Whoops you did!I have not seen a definite answer around but some people seem to think your battery may return to normal after a few cycles.
The camera issue may just be coincidence not sure.
I learn't along time ago with android don't press anything unless you know exactly what it does.

Don't Use Large Letters It's Very Rude! especially when someone is trying to help you!
Look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561236 << especially post 54. It may not be for calibration I am just going on the information I have seen in other posts but put it this way I won't be pressing it to find out.

I don't really get it. So you're getting 23 hours but 81% Android OS. Did you only showed black pixels or what? Even at lowest I don't get that.
BTW, you can take screenshots by pressing home + power button. No need for third party apps .
So instead of having a look at the threads on this forums you made a thread for yourself? Smart.
There's already a massive thread on this topic.

Its just show that, as a matter of fact .. if i browsed the net or played with any app it will drain within 90 minutes.
and thanks for the screen-capture tip,
There seems to be a bug with KE2 on the SG2.
But Im not sure how long the battery lasts then and how it looks like. But it could be that

You dont need to do a search, it's been on the first page of the general forums for the last two weeks so you don't need to do a search just use your eyes.
I can sympathies with your situation because I have same problem, but please read through the threads made before making comments.
there are always some trolls around....

Will there ever be a forum that doesnt allow stupid people in?
Replace the capcha at registration with an IQ test - xda is sure worth the effort for joining... and deny registration below something like 110 and rather forward them to apple

Sooo... will the warranty still cover this?
Just a couple of hours ago just when I received the dongle(took longer then a month, but I can't complain ) I randomly tried GPS Essentials Camera feature and whaddya know? It doesn't work anymore. I think the camera just pop'ed from the board or something, but how? this thing is way to expensive to throw it anywhere like some nokia device. I've been so careful with it, sure I have some scratches here and there but I had nothing like this before...

Common problem. Search. RMA only choice.
Well I didn't notice anything like this to roll around in the forums so I'll ask here: Can I fix it myself maybe? or can't I because of some warranty stickers in the way?

As I can guess, you can't fix it completely by yourself. My tablet has the same problem and it is now in service centre. Waiting for the results.(Best variant is receiving it on Wednesday).

In fact, if you have warranty card, you can try and send it to your service centre. If it won't help, try to get your money back.

Camera switch problem

Hi
I have a Galaxy S3 white 16gb.
One of the first first things a did when first turning on my new phone was to try the camera. I switched from the back to the front camera and then back again and now the camera app wont even open. After about 20 seconds after opening the camera app I get ' Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.'.
I thought if I turned the phone off and on again this may fix the problem but no. I then removed the battery for a few seconds but this again, this did not fix the problem.
The only way I could get the camera to work again was to do a factor reset. I just have to open up the camera app and switch from back to front and back again and the same problem occurs.
Is it only me?
Thanks
Me too
Hi,
No it's not just you I have this issue too! Not a happy bunny
I'm thinking it maybe a software release error. My device settings are
Android 4.0.4
kernek 3.0.15-611327

Are you going to keep yours?

Kernel version

Is that what you mean?
I got it from Vodafone UK.
Sending Back
Hi,
No I'm not keeping mine. I also contacted samsung and they have said to return it to the supplier.
As for the firmware I connected mine to Kies and Kies informed me that my phone was not compatabile for a firmware upgrade via Kies. I can only guess that there is no firmware upgrade available.
Cas
I have been chatting in the Vodafone UK eforum.
I have spoken to Vodafone and they said it is not a known issue so seems like a hardware problem with my device. They are arranging for a new one to be sent to me Thursday so I can swap.
Other than that is seems like a great device.

I just tried what you said - took a pic with the front camera, switched to the back and took another, then closed and restarted the camera - and it worked fine for me.
Although I did spot that you're on a later revision than I am (my phone's SIM-free)

Yes I know that "well it works for me" isn't that helpful. That said, maybe you can use this as "evidence" that you've got a busted phone? HTH

There's no such thing as 'a good rom for battery'. Because everyone uses their phone differently & everyone has their phone setup differently. Try a bunch of roms/kernels out until you find a combination that gives you the battery life you're after. Also, there are hundreds of threads on here with lots of info/tips on how to improve battery life - search for them.

Hey Tony! :angel:
OP: all I have to add here is that the Android OS battery drain issue is well-know (a quick search will yield a tonne of threads), so no point elaborating on that. What I can recommend though is downloading BetterBatteryStats, and check for any kernel wakelocks. Fix those if they're there; I will not explain how to, as there are already many threads on the topic. Those will be the main source of your battery drain.

thank you!
yes i found tons of topics about this subject,but not really solution,
in my case when i kill all apps WIFI still working(see that on the wifi icon on top bar)with my old Galaxy s1 that's never happened.
talking about BetterBatteryStats ,i found that Maps and GPS drain some battery but not too much but i disabled GPS and Google places service i won some battery life but the Android OS still killing my battery.
by the way have you this problem to?
thank you.
Maybe "One Power Guard" can help you downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889740 Then feedback me you use effects
