Ok back with screenshots. Theres a lot of them. I took screenshots off the normal battery monitor and the bad ass battery monitor app. Someone please have a look at tell me whats draining my battery.

Ok first what I did what charge it to full and let it idle with just wifi on for 1hr 44 mins and this is the result.

Then I charged it back to full and used it lightly and this was what it was before I went to bed.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
Same story here. On current battery drain it looks like it will be dead by 8pm tonight from a full charge at 7am. Usage has been a small amount of web browsing and streaming Spotify for 2hrs or so (with screen off). I've seen reviews that claim they've had the screen on for hours and got 22hrs+ battery life! Not me.

So, a dodgy app issue or faulty battery?

One thought thats come to mind - does it use the same charger as the S2?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Claytop:
On a related battery issue, in my running applications S Voice is listed as running.. Should this be the case or does it want stopping?

Thanks

Have any of you found that secril_fd-interface is causing a lot of Kernel Wakelocks according to BetterBatteryStats?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
Just noticed that for the two charges I've done so far, I have used my S2 charger which has an output of 0.7a where as the new charger is 1.0. Would that make a difference to battery power/retention or just speed of charging?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
I have very good battery life. Usually i take it off the charger in the morning at 8 and by 10pm i have about 40+% left. Usewise, tapatalk a bit of web browsing, a couple of phonecalls a few photos.

I use the 2x battery app to save some battery which flicks the mobile data on and off when you switch the screen off, but even without that there is still plenty of battery left at night.

I use the sync for weather 6hourly, don't use Facebook, have gmail push, only use the smart call, no other gismos that Samsung has put in. So in all I'm excited with the battery life for sure.

I would def. Say check your apps and sync settings as well as if you have signal problems. Otherwise the battery my be dodgy.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
As I wrote in another thread, since I got the phone a week ago, I've been trying anything to understand the problem. I have a problem like yours, for instance, this morning I turned on the phone which was fully charged. I started at 99% (quite common for Samsung to start at 99%, never understood why!), I left the phone alone on a table with full signal bars, screen off for 40 minutes, then I unlocked the phone and it has 96% battery left! Very high battery drain!

As I said, in this week I tried:

-disabling several unused services

-disabling every sensor and gesture into the gesture setting menu

-disabling gps (which normally I left always on on all my phones!)

-using wcdma only (I'm on h3g, which goes on roaming with Tim)

-disabling exchange sync with my office account

Well, only this last change has some reflection on battery drain, but I still think it' not normal battery drain. Then, again, using wcdma only didn't help.

Maybe the problem could be related to fast dormancy, as someone noticed using better battery stats, in particular for someone like me using h3g which seems not to like that much such a setting.

Wasn't there service menu in s2 to disable fast dormancy that could work on s3 too? It would worth trying!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuhaohuang:
I completely agree wth you there. Turning off other services seemed to have little impact on increasing battery life. The cell standby is just too high when you have exchange activesync going.

Is fast dormancy on by default? or off? Off being there is no fast dormancy and hence more battery will be used during standby?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uf21:
Do can anyone tell me why my battery is draining from all the pictures I posted?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozziede:
Battery drain was a issue for me. Using battery widget monitor I could see I was draining 20% every hour. Turning off wifi and exchange services didnt really help. I did as someone suggested here and recharged the batter then took out the battery for 5 minutes before putting it back in. Battery drain was then 3% per hour with cellular and wifi. After switching on exchange services it has gone up to 6% per hour but thats with heavy email traffic. Pretty Happy with the performance now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
So, I've done a full charge over night with the proper charger, screen brightness is at its lowest, I've frozen wi-fi share and all share using Titanium and I've removed the battery for over 5 mins.

Browsing my RSS feeds for 7 mins this morning, charge went from 99% (100%) to 96%. Is that normal?

Also, has anyone who thought they had battery issues returned the phone and got a new on which instantly fixed the issue?

Lastly, whats Media or Downloads? I see its usually high on battery use in the apps list.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
I'm afraid it's on by default, that's why is draining so much battery. Fast dormancy is a good.thing only if your carrier can properly handle it and I fear that h3g here in Italy cannot.

Tonite I left both phones, one x and sgs3 in offline, this morning after 8 hours they have both lost just 1%, while normally my sgs3 looses more than 4% an hour. I guess this is the final proof that the problem is into the radio and very probably it deals with fast dormancy. :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
Your only solution to that is 2x battery app. It handles turning on and off the 3g phones capability upon unlocking and turning the phone off while you determine the intervals for doing that. That way you are switching between 2g and 3g automatically and the battery is better handled. I use it and i have managed to have up to 48% battery left at 10pm from a morning discharge at 8am with a couple of calls, tapatalk, internet browsing etc.

You'll agree with me in considering how bitter is having to use such a trick to be able to use all day long a beast with a 2100mah battery. That's a shame!

Funny how things change: a week ago I was one of the lucky (unlucky) few having an sgs3, and when I wrote that I had battery problem peopled said I was crazy, cause this is the perfect phone and that it lasts forever. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
But if this is a problem with your 3g provider which the phone cannot utilise the fast dormancy feature then it's not really a true phone fault. Its more complicated than that. I'm not sure how this 3g dormancy works but in the UK there is no such issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
What's fast dormancy? I'm with three in the UK - do they support it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
I don't know. I gathered from the previous posts that it's a feature that the phones have when the carrier can support it in which it helps reduce the battery consumption while on 3g. I may be completely wrong though. I'm on t-mobile and i don't have any issues in the UK

So how do we turn it off?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
This is THE point right now: Samsung disabled the setting into service menu ( try dialing *#9900#)

Up to S2 you could find into this menu a "Disable fast dormancy" setting, now this setting is vanished! :(

Someone suggested that rooting the phone you can add a properties to build.prop in order to disable it, but those who tried said it didn't work.

Still looking for a way to disable it...possibly without having to root the phone! :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
On the subject of service menus, I entered a code that was suggested on a thred here to switch off a wifi setting. I now can't find that code (its not the one above). Is there a list of codes somewhere?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazbutler1:
hi,

have you tried flahing a different modem and csc to see also wether the problem is solved. I'm on 3uk and like you my cell standby was ridiculously high. I upgraded firmware to xxalef, and used unbranded csc oxxale8. This improved it, then I changed network mode to wcdma only and my battery time is now fantastic.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
I'm on three UK. How did you go about upgrading the firmware?

if you go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671969

all instructions, firmwares, modems are in there. Its very easy, no need to wipe will also allow you to debrand.:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
Great - thanks! Does that mean that any automatic updates won't work though? And that was the service code I was after. No idea if wifi power saving moe should be on or off though?

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Sorry, couple of questions:

1. Whats CSC?

2. Did you use Stock or Insecure Kernel?

3. By de-branding, do you just mean the start animation? Do all the network settings remain?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazbutler1:
If you use the official stock uk firmware xxale8 then auto updates will work i think that if you mix and match pda,modems,csc's then they might not but I could be wrong.

1. csc is the carrier related settings, this contains boot,shutddown logos, mms apn settings etc.

2. I just used stock kernel

3. yes, just removing boot animations also removes apn carrier settings. The stock btu uk csc for xxale8 firmware automatically picks up you correct network settings anyway.

its very easy to do and if you don't like (which i doubt) then you can just download stock 3uk firmware from page 1 of the thread posted earlier and flash back over the top.:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
Brilliant. Did you change the modem also? If so which?

Are you getting better battery life in standby and while the screen is on? I assume it needs to be re-rooted after?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
I'm already using only wcdma setting and I'm already on unbranded oxxale8 as well.

That's funny: I thought that maybe using a h3g branded radio I could maybe solve this problem...but from whta you say they didn't even test the fast dormancy issue! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazbutler1:
I did change the modem to xxlef and it was terrible for me so I flashed 3uk nele4 modem back on. My battery life was poor on 3uk stock firmware, going to xxale8 improved it but the biggest improvement battery wise for me was to change network mode from auto to wcdma. this cured a cell standby problem i was having.

yes the phone will need rooting again if you want it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendez2k:
I guess its because three only have 3G as their lowest network and no GSM, In which case the phone may have been hunting around for GSM!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazbutler1:
im an using xxale8 firmware, oxalle8 csc and nele4 3uk modem. I had signal issues with other modems so had to go back to 3uk modem. Is your modem 3uk stock or are you using other?

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

yeah i think so, only 1 or 2 bars at home so it was probably looking to change to a better gsm signal but seen as three only have 3g network it cant
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
I'm on stock unbranded rom with modem XXLE8

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Hey guys, I was just using my phone today like a normal day, and my phone's power button just stopped working. I doubt its software, so is there anything I can do to fix this? Any guides in particular?

edit: the button has randomly started working again after I pushed it in a bit without opening anything, but I suspect theres dirt accumulating in there or something and just making it hard to work. I'd still like to know if theres a way i can get the power button out, clean it with a q-tip or what not and get it back in all safely.
[Vibrant General] yosup:
Sorry to hear that, bro. Judging from this Vibrant tear-down thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24155781, it looks like the power button is accessible after taking off the main back cover ... but I can't really tell from the 2nd photo (looking at it from my phone / Tapatalk right now, and the zoomed resolution is not very good).

Hope you get it figured out, or maybe (in the meantime) use a power button widget / shortcut? :D

( not to make light of the circumstance ... but maybe make sure you're using the right "towels" when you wipe down your phone. Its always easy to blame dougie's special red apk. :rolleyes: )

I am wondering since HTC not interested to give us ICS, will HTC release all the source code necessary to build AOSP ICS for flyer?

I'm keeping my finger cross here. I plan to make a petition for HTC to release source code or at least source code for all the driver.

I think if HTC release the source code, at least we might forgive HTC for not release ICS for Flyer. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Waste of time, not gonna happen. HTC doesn't own most of the drivers. Other companies like Qualcomm, Broadcomm, etc. own them. The most important thing HTC would do is write a ICS compatible kernel and they never did that for the FLyer so you are asking for vapor.

I think HTC may be out of business in a year or two. Microsoft just banned them from access to Windows 8 and phone. HTC is headed down and out.

still, so sad...

I don't understand how they could screw up like this on the tablet market.

They do excellent HW and the Flyer could have sold much better if they have had the proper price and marketing approach. And a dual-core...

HTC has a very good SW layer (Sense), far better than most of the others on the market. When I tried the Samsung stuff, it was not even comparable.

So why aren't they trying harder?

They could have put those $300M in developers and products rather than in beats...

One smart move would be for ASUS to buy HTC: that way they'll create a real strong team, covering the whole line-up of products from phones to PCs.

Any large investment fund interested in my strategy? :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Always nice to get a jab at Microsoft in, but unless Google and friends get their act together on Android updates and app integration with the desktop, Microsoft and Windows RT / 8 are posed to make a big impact on the market over the next 6 months. I'm sure HTC could have used a few hundred million $$ in extra sales for Windows RT phones. HTC management has been making a series of bad business decisions over the past year. They need a change. The market is not very forgiving.

Man windows 8 is retarded. What's so wrong with 7? No Aero? Really? And most people who use it say metro is clunky and unnecessary clutter. Google isn't scared of windows 8, microsoft is scared of google, and apple for that matter. How big of an impact will windows 8 be? Well how big is windows phone? Exactly.

I might have met 2 people since 2010 who actually bought a windows phone.

Overall its just too soon for a new os from microsoft. Windows 7 is nothing short of excellent and perfect. And the gap between XP and vista is like 6 years, its only been 3 years since 7 launched. Microsoft is jumping the gun IMO. Honestly I probably won't even get it. At its core its just "6.2" and still windows vista based so I don't see how its necessary for a PC.
