Here are my results after a typical day spent mostly on WiFi, with LTE whenever I'm away from the office or home, with roughly 3.5 hours of screen time. Completely stock, on Telus. I only just got this phone on Friday and I'm coming from a HTC Sensation that was running a custom ICS rom, and so far the S3 seems to be far better in terms of battery life (and every other conceivable way:p)

If you will note, most people that have posted and flashed have averaged between 3-4 hours of screen time. A few have posted better times but you really don't know if they have an extended battery or what procedure they used to run their test. My phone is completely stock and I average just over 4 hours and the best that I have ever gotten since the first week of July is just barely over 5 hours of screen time and that just occurred once. I have haptic turned off and use night mode on Dolphin. There was no movie viewing on those 5 hours. The good news is that Jellybean will add about an hour of screen time according to GSMarena and their review of Jellybean.

Jelly Bean gave me about one extra hour screen on time on stock battery over stock Ice Cream Sandwich. I've gotten 6 hours screen on time on stock battery before,but that was with only the Kindle app running in night mode. No other apps used the whole time.

This is mine. On Ariel, Nova Launcher and stock everything else.

I listened to music throughout the day at work with some light browsing on LET.

I wish that I could dim the screen more. It's quite bright, especially at night. Otherwise, I can't really complain. My Inspire on CM7 sucked up battery to the point where I had to keep a charger close by.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runtohell121:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Capa1970:
This is common. I came from an iPhone and wasn't used to this type of excessive drain. It was really annoying haven't a fully charged phone and then going to bed only to wake up to about a 23% drain. I got Juicedefender Ultimate and now lose a little less than 1% per hour.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Cell standby is the process your phone uses to hold cell reception. If your in an area of bad reception your phone this will cause a lot of battery drain. The only way to avoid this is to turn on airplane mode when you don't need your phone (like overnight). You can also try flashing a different modem. They are location based so you might find one that works better for you.

Personally I don't get why people leave their phones unplugged overnight. The battery's used in smartphones are designed to be charged at 50% to 70%. Letting the battery fully discharge every cycle will lead to a shorter lifetime of the battery. Not that it really matters since a new stock battery is so cheap :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nemo1ner:
I usually don't charge the phone unless it's almost dead, or I know I'm going to need it on longer. My previous phones would stay plugged in and I saw that my battery didn't last for too long.

I'm currently going on 8hrs, 2m on my battery and have 46% left. I've been using it off and on. Small updates on Twitter and browsing web, play store, and other apps. Nothing too heavy, no streaming, trying to keep phone on sleep whenever not in use as much as possible. Battery life definitely seems to be not as great as when I was on iPhone4 but the stats prove that it's still cranking along just fine. Battery drainage is about 4-7% when in sleep, standby. At least that's what the widget tells me after I wake the phone up.

Gps off, lte off, auto rotate off, nfc on(love google wallet), WiFi on for 12 hours. Under clocked to 1.2ghz(still perfectly smooth and I am anal about that) no undervolting, brightness set at %50 constant. This completely trumps the iPhone 5 I had.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trendiggity:
Screen brightness and signal are the two big factors. LTE chews battery, even when the phone is in standby. I have mine turned off. If you REALLY want to see your battery life increase, use EDGE only for a day. You'll still have 90% or more battery when you get home if you don't use your screen much.

The type of activity you're using the screen for makes a big difference too. Browsing the web and Twitter are relatively easy on the CPU so you can do that longer than say, playing Angry Birds.

Most

of the 4-6 hour screen shots are over a relatively short period of time... i.e. If you charge your phone to full then immediately start using it to watch a movie or something non-intensive CPU wise you'll easily get 5 hours screen time, but the battery will be mostly dead.

I don't have screens but what I average is 2 hours 30 minutes screen on time an day only get 12 hours max with data off practically the entire time. I have 3 batteries and they all average the same. What I do mostly is text, check xda, and listen to music with poweramp. Nothing crazy. With data off I don't sync during the day much. It's pissing me off because I know the battery life is good on this phone and I hair happen to get one that sucks

On another note, I unplugged my phone this morning, and it has been 1 hour and 40 minutes. I'm now at 90% with 30 minutes of on-screen time..... Is that normal? I don't have anything syncing automatically, location services and whatnot are all off. Stock Kernel, too.

Even with this upgrade everyone needs to calibrate their battery. There's an app on the google play store that you can do it with after phone is charged to 100%.

Battery life has been awful for me since getting the stock 4.1 update. Today during an 8 hour shift at work it almost completely drained, 7% remaining with 32 minutes of screen use.

Here's the results.

Also on my way home I lost signal and the battery lost about 7 percent of its charge just searching for a signal.

sorry if this is a newb question but...............I'm a newb....

can someone please tell me what the apn trick is and how I can disable LTE? I just got an ATT S3 to replace my dying iphone 3GS and so far I have been completely unimpressed with the battery life. I'm getting about 50% of the battery life I was getting on my iphone. I still have a couple of weeks to return it if I'm not happy with it, and there are definitely some things I need to resolve and get used to but having a battery that starts with a full charge at 7:30 a.m. and is pretty much dead by 2 in the afternoon with only fairly light usage is not something that will work for me at all. I'm really trying to like this phone but if I can't fix the battery life problem, I may have to return it and go back to my dreaded iphone, which I replaced because the battery was going bad....and despite that it was still giving me better performance than the S3. :(
