Hello xda-Community,
currently I am using CyanogenMod and I have big battery problems. For example: I watch YouTube for like ~30 minutes, the display flickers and my S3 turns off. However, I am looking for a battery saving ROM+Kernel for my Samsung Galaxy S III i9300. I used the search function, but I only found old threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fast-battery-saving-stable-rom-s3-t1980380
Regards,
Cololand

I flashed ArchiDroid and it's running a little bit longer. Any more ideas?
How about setting your cpu frequency? 200-1000 MHz
Is Your battery swollen?

I kno wand understand that a million threads on batteries already exist, however I wanted to be as specific as possible and see what you all can recommend.
I'm looking for a batter that's between 2000-2300mah and that will work with the standard charger/USB cable, and not cause my phone to go into SOD or boot loops, and that has NFC capabilities just as the stock standard battery does
Also I'd like this battery to be ~$50 or less
and above all it's be very nice if it fits into the phone without any modifications and or having to replace the back cover with another one.
I'm sure such a battery has to exist, just haven't seen it yet.
Please help me on my quest.
Thanks!
I've been looking for the same thing. Only difference is I couldn't care less about it having an NFC chip or not.
Thank you.
Only one i can think of would be the Korean official extended. But like the thread says the back has to be modded
I will let you know if the battery I bought on ebay works. I asked the seller for specifications. I will let you know.

last night I did changed some settings on my phone, like not using network for location,no automatic sync, Juice defender Ultimate settings,Voltage Control Mv settings done. I freeze Gmail with titanyum backup pro. Do not remember if did anything else but today I have used 17h7m43s on battery and still has 64%. Huge increment of battery life detected!
i will keep this settings backed up with tytanium backup just incase.

Those settings seem a little too aggressive for my taste. I use gmail quite a bit and I also like that the network finds my location rather than the GPS. I'm hardly ever on wi-fi and I have automatic sync going every 3hrs I think.
My phone lasts about 16-20hrs on average. and I'm ok with that, just would like better results as I'm seeing some pull about 2days of life out of their devices.

Since past 3-4 days, my phone randomly shuts down and doesn't turn back on. When I enter download mode, it says too low battery to download. Then, I charge my phone back to 100%, it drains very fast and when it reaches less than 40%, the screen flickers and it switches off. I've tried resetting the fuel gauge, have tried calibrating the battery. But it seems to reoccur everyday. Also, I noticed that it takes not more than 1.5 hours to charge now. It generally took 3 hours for a full charge. I've tried changing rom, kernel and modem. Currently on CM9, fluxi, KI4 modem.
Can someone please help me out on this? The strange thing is that it drains pretty fast and charges in less than 1.5 hour from 0 to 100!
TIA

Seems to be that one or more battery cells are faulty. Do you have another battery to test with?

Done all that. Nothing has helped. I just changed my rom. Came back to GB! The battery was 70%.. I was on the welcome screen, the screen flickered and it went off. It never used to flicker like this! :crying:

Then it works all fine! It only goes off when without the charger plugged in! And it shows random battery states, it's 70 right now and two minutes later it will be 73 or 37. I've reset the fuel gauge and all. Nothing seems to work!
The worst part is that it flickers! WHY?

It sounds like a battery fault, try seeing if a local phone shop would let you try one to test before you buy it maybe?
What do you mean by flicker? Could you do a video?

1) Good.
2) Of course.
3) It doesn't have a heating problem, it's the game you're running that could be demanding.
4) Good & kind of good.
PS: You can get this info from the 785 videos posted in YouTube.

Hey,guys.My dad recently give away his Galaxy S2,and I updated it to 4.1.2 android JB.I noticed that the battery drains faster than on ginger bread,I looked at the battery stats and it shows that the screen uses 44% of battery.Next day I checked it showed 56%.Is it normal?
BTW I went to bed when my phone battery was 89%.When I woke up it was 79%.I did the battery calibration by charging to 100% taking off the battery and putting it back on after 5min.But I don't see the difference after that.Please help!

Yes it's normal.Jb hogs on battery .You can follow the many battery saving tips that have been posted.If you came from GB i figure your battery must be pretty old.It might require a replacement.

Thanks very much, the phone is 2 years old probably I will replace the battery
i am just new to Android and suprised how dull the display is on my S2 at its lowest setting. Coming from Blackberry where my device was always at 10% brightness. its seems that blackberrys were brighter than my S2, both on the lowest settings.
That being said, i now have my S2 at full brightness and the battery drain is worse than i expected it to be. a small thing when the OS is so good and the whole phone works so fast. i was living in the dark ages. lol.
My device is 39% for screen and so maybe a new battery for you may help. make sure you get a official S2 battery and not a cheaper one from Ebay of that. found the cheap one to have low capaicty even if they say that they are the same or higher than the official ones.

i have the same problem and it isnt a battery problem.
sorry but what is the "solution"? thread is marked as solved... id like to know about this battery drain issue on 4.1.2
For many months I have noticed that below the threshold of 10% (battery) on my Galaxy S2 is turned off. I brought a number of times your phone for repair, but very often it was just a waste of time.
Please help me because I have to keep the Galaxy S2 for a long time and do not want it in these conditions
P.S: Drain the battery quickly even though he is using that increased samsung (2000mAh) and a lot warmer

Sounds like a faulty battery...do you have the orginal 1650 battery? Use it for a few days
Indeed sounds like your battery is giving up. Get youself a good battery - genuine Samsung/Anker/ZeroLemon (specifically in this order) are your best bets.
Edit - don't buy the crappy knockoffs from eBay that go for under 5$. They are the worst out there.
