Anyone with a telecom New Zealand (9300T) can you check your cellstandby for battery
It is using more than the screen is.
yesterday phone was at 30% with only 2 hours screen on.
Cellstandby used 67%
Can anyone else confirm that they are having the same problem on the S3 or is it the telecom nz firmware doing it.
If so I will root and flash another providers firmware
I have the phone in dubai and the cell standby has been very high since day 1.

This is NOT an issue. The numbers have to equal 100% as its a measure of what's been happening since your last charge so if its doing nothing then cellstandby gets the highest percentage. ITS NOT A BUG.

That means that it has used 42% out of the 37% that have been used during those 8,5 hours. 42% out of 37% = 15,5%
Hence, cell standby, only used 15,5% of battery during those 8,5 hours.
15,5/8,5 = 1,8 % an hour.
Not an issue, as stated previously.

Go away with your baboon logic. There's people posting 5h screentime battery statistics with cell standby having almost equal percentage as the screen. Either it is a very bad reporting error, which I doubt because people are reporting bad standby battery life, or there is something wrong with the modem firmware which has already happened on other devices.
It is an obvious issue, and please go install Badass Battery Monitor or something else to view the absolute µAh draw so we can stop the lame excuses about how things need to sum up to 100 and other flawed logics.

And since when the hell is 1.8%/h pure modem draw been acceptable? The Galaxy S2 with the predecessor of the exactly same modem hardware is getting 0.5%/h total standby draw usually.
I'm on Vodafone nz. With pretty heavy use the figures were just over 7 hours screen time out of 12 total and cell standby stood at 14%

Those with high cell standby values.Try a different modem firmware.
There is no one size fits all firmware on Galaxy phones.

same problem.
Phone Radio drains around 30-50% of my battery life.
It drained over 8% of my battery in 5 hours today. (Battery at 78% now in 5 hours - was 100% this morning)
Having this problem as well. Phone wont last me throughout the day with minimal use and you can feel it hot when placing it in my bag.
I wont start talking about the % use of cell vs screen. But when the battery lasts 10 hours with only 30min of screen use throughout the day, then there's a problem !!
I had this problem with Galaxy S. Changed modem firmware seemed to help a bit but still isnt as long as my previous phones.

Seems something is wrong with your phone. Mine has had medium use for over 20 hours and i have 36% battery left.
Mine is at 61% now and it's has 09:30 hours use. My screen has been on for 1:30 hours so quite heavy use.
The weird thing is:
My phone radio started out with 55% power use the first 2 hours and dropped to 30% power use and is still dropping. No idea why tbh. I didn't use my phone more or let my screen on for more time..
My screen is still around 50%
My app use is 21% now. (with sygic taking up 10% while the app is not even on)
Hey new here....
12 hours with absolutely no usage besides alarm and went from 100 -> 13% battery.
Will get the battery app mentioned previously and see what that reports.

Something is causing a wakelock. Use the app betterbatterystats to identify the culprit.

I usually turn my phone off at night funnily enough
My phone was at 70% cell stanby, the Android OS bug that was ever present in the SGSII seems to have all but gone but now we have cell standby
Hey guys
I got my ultra yesterday and it came with about 40% battery and it took nearly 2 hours of screen on time to kill it which was amazing
I've given it a full charge so this is my first cycle and battery life isn't great with just over 1hour and 10 minutes screen on time which is worse then my 18 month old s3
Will it get better over time? I've got all the power saving features on
Thanks

1 hour 10 minutes from 100 to 0%? You should get around 5-7 hours of screentime. Just keep using it though and it should get better in a few days.

Just went through the first cycle and it was about 3 hours, Battery seems weird on this device, I unplugged it from full at 100% but I leave it on 100% for about 20 minutes after and it went straight down to 99% where as my nexus 7 doesnt do that :S

Hard to tell if it's normal or not. Are you using any apps that updates themselves frequently in the background? Widgets? Whatsapp? FB Messenger? I've had mine in standby for 8 hours (while at sleep) at 100% before, and it was still at 100% eight hours later, so it shouldn't drop 1% in 20 minutes.
Just keep using it for a week or so, and if it isn't better, you might have a lemon. But again, it's incredible hard to say what it might be. You can also do a factory reset and see if that solves anything. It might simply be a bug or an app that's gone rogue.
Agree with LordManhattan and 3mL.
When I first got it, I had the same questions about battery life. I was literally seeing it draining a percent a seconds. There were some rogue apps, like whatsapp and pinger (textfree), that were constantly doing something in the background. Uninstalled those and got much better results. After about a week or so and a few battery cycles, the battery also improved drastically.
Try some of the apps that monitor and hibernate apps, e.g. greenify and wakelock detector. I'm sure there are others but those are the ones I use.
I had a 2 percent drop last night so not to bad
And im not rooted so I cant use those apps at the moment
Ill see how it gets on

I m on stock rom rooted. using stamina mode while allowing some of the apps to run in background. battery life is great
never let battery life go below 50%. on contrary to popular belief, it is not wise to let ur batter drain completely. for the first few cycles refer to the manual
I normally get about 1-2% drain over night, a bit more if the cell signal decides to play up a but.
Over this week I got 4d 12h on one charge with 12% still remaining - very light usage: 3 or 4 calls, a few emails, a few geo-tagged photos, a note or two with poor signal most of the working day.
Its been rather strange for me, on the first charge cycle I got 4.5 hours of screen on time and the 2nd I got 4 hours
Im now on my 3rd and im at 85% with only 48 minutes of screen on time which isnt too bad but I feel like I have to have low battery mode and stamina mode on just to get it through the day
Hopefully Sony release a fix or 4.4 with better battery life

Well i don't want to be rude, but are you just stare to your screen for 4 hours? Or are you also doing something with the phone?
Because it really matters what kind of activity regarding your battery life you're doing. Smartphones are not battery friendly, get your charger with you or buy a mobile charger.
Hi
I bought this phone 2 week ago. already when my phone was in sleep with airplane mod , the percent of my battery was instant about 10 hours. but now when my phone is sleep with airplane mod and i dont use it , the percent of battery is decrease about 10 percent in 10 hours. i do factor reset. but the problem was not solved. i guess when i update the phone in update center, this problem was appeared. now the version of my phone is :
android version : 4.4.2
software version: V10c-AME-XX
how i can solve this problem? and how i can to return to my first version software and cancel my update?
Try getting your previous rom and flashing that, it might just work

I don't think Your issue is software-related. I've got my Mini for over a month now, and I was dissapointed about battery life on it's first days. Now I think battery shaped its own and there's no problem with battery at all - it lasts two days with moderate data usage.

How long did it take for the problem to solve itself?
I got my phone about a week ago and I was suprised that it was able to last almost 3 days before charging.
Currently battery life is just terrible (less than 24 hours while phone is practically idle, with low brighntness, disabled gps, wifi and data connection) which is quite strange because since then I have rooted my phone and got rid of bloatware.
I have read somewhere that you shouldn't allow li-ion batteries to discharge fully, unfortunately I did that unintentionally,
Is it possible that a single full depletion managed to damage the battery? Or is it possible that I deleted some crucial app?
Phone's electronics and software will protect the battery, so no worry about discharging.
Did you install any messaging app (WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Tango, Facebook or similar)?
These are draining battery a lot.
No. I don't use those. I even greenified dropbox, pocket and some other apps,
I installed Busybox (I don't know if this is even relevant, honestly I have no idea what am I doing,
I just follow guides to achieve functionality I want )
You may use BetterBatteryStats to find out what sucks your battery.

Or you revert to stock and stop messing around as you had good battery life before as you wrote.

I don't use custom ROM's, after factory reset my phone isn't even rooted. I'll check out BBS soon and post some logs, they might shed some light on the issue. Built in battery usage app shows that most of the battery (30-40%) is sucked by Android OS
Factory reset did help indeed but not for long, battery worked like a charm for 3 or 4 days but problem reappeared.
We lg mini g2 two weeks and never more battery lasted 24 hours on average use. I see that most say the battery should take 2-3 days with average use but to me you is not no day. After 2 hours of Internet browsing still remain less than 50% battery. Is it normal? What will keep you battery continuous internet browsing?

It depends on your usage and brightness settings.
Normally I keep my brightness below 40%.
If I play ingress in the sun with display at 100% brightness I will get the same results as you do.
The battery of my tablet has become terrible the last two days.
Previously I had no problems lasting all day.
The last two days have seen an 80% drop in a few hours.
Has anybody else had a similar issue?

Not as bad as that, but I have noticed the following.
I got my tablet on Tuesday and immediately activated Stamina mode etc.
Overnight I left it in aeroplane mode and it lost just 1% battery.
Yesterday during the day at the office, again it only lost 1-2% in 9 hours.
Yesterday evening I let Google Play sync and restore some of my apps etc. But, I also went into setting and disabled and un-installed stuff I did not plan to use.
Overnight it lost about 8% - again it was in aeroplane mode.
Today at the office it has lost around 7% over the past 8 hours.
Not sure what is going on.
I installed a battery saver app and it seems to be better.
I suspect a recent app update was responsible.
My tablet went on for 2 weeks 14 days on one charge with light use throughout that time very happy with it.

Last night mine only lost 1% overnight...
And so far sat on my desk it has only lost 1% in the past 4 hours...
Weird.
Gah73 - which battery app did you install? On my Z1 Compact I never found a battery app that helped - Stamina mode always seemed to give the best results.
Thanks!

I never use any battery app I put tablet in battery saving mode that's all.
Same here. Usually i'd be at about 78% after a day of normal usage, today i'm at 58%.
SGP621 / LTE here. I also suspect some updated app, as I updated yesterday.
From power usage stats it looks like Asphalt8 might be the bad app... 27%.
Anyone with the same problem and Asphalt8 installed?
Brgds, Martin.

I was using battery doctor - I have uninstalled now though.
I agree the built in STAMINA mode is pretty good especially with the Extended standby on.
Also, I do have asphalt 8 installed so it could possibly be that.
I think Battery doctor is a good app.
2nd charge much better!
Ok - just to update, I charged the tablet for the 2nd time since purchase on the Sunday before last i.e. 11 days ago.
This afternoon the battery charge finally dropped to 14% and so I have set it to charge again.
Over the past 11 days I used the tablet for around 10hrs in total - most of which was watching HD videos on a medium brightness setting using MX Player Pro and earphones. Spent maybe 1hr total downloading / updating apps and checking email etc.
I strongly believe I could have made it last through till Saturday before I hit 0% battery - based on the daily average battery usage of around 7-8% a day.
Overnight in Aeroplane mode it lost around 1% each night. Also, note that I had Auto-sync switched off for the majority of the 11 days - so if you have it switched on - you battery life would be affected.
Since the .219 update I've noticed the battery life is draining very fast. I barely get 2 hours of On-Screen-Time and when the phone is on standby it will use 20% overnight, meaning that I have to charge 2x a day. When I first got the phone I would charge it once a day and it would hold atleast 1,5 day on full charge.
I've tried: 1) System repair, 2) factory reset, 3) battery stamina mode help only a little, 4) contacted Xperia support that didn't really help.
Anyone experienced something similar?

Since updating, I'm getting a lot of ANRs for file intensive apps and they seem to drain the battery faster.
Cellular performance seemed improved on my carrier (US T-Mobile) but it's a hot mess roaming on Vodafone UK.
Yes have been noticing mine draining much faster than it used to. Not as bad as having to charge 2x a day but I now barely make it through the day compared to getting 1.5 days previously.
I have similar feeling. My battery works worse than before. And I do not mean the fact that of course as every battery it is getting worse over time, but it's life dropped suddenly after update
same here... :-(
