You get right myself i have noticed it and this time it s not the codes sources's fault xd (cf Cyanogen and his very bad battery life despite excellent performances).

For myself i reach the 21h screen on and about 4 days with one charge.

No secrets i use a ZeroLemon battery (7500mAh).With heavy use and always at least 50% brightness.

So use in Wifi , with Opera browser for mobile.Eco mode always activate.

I am always on the Echoes rom bases on Touchwizz actually the v 20 (android 4.4.2).Kernel depending of the version but actually i think i would get the best battery life i have never had see it is the own rom's kernel. (From Friedroch420 AEL kernel).

Ps :i say that like that it s not for taking the big head (sorry i am french so if the expression doesn't making my apologizes).

It s the only true solution for an amazing battery life..except external battery of course.

I get 5-7 hours of screen on time. Standby 4 days. I don't use my phone heavily so on average I charge every 2-3 days with 4-5 hours screen on time.

LTE on all the time, WiFi 50% of the time. Appes commonly used chrome, gmail, Facebook, SMS and phone.

Nothing crazy.

Running slimkat build 5 and kt747 kernel. 1080mhz max frequency and few other minor tweaks.

Don't feel like posting a screenshot but I can if someone wants me too.

I got 1 day 6 hours 26 mins

Screen on time of 2h 47m

Standby is the highest, then screen then chrome. Said I used chrome for about 24 mins. Auto brightness, no power saving mode.

I stretched it to 1d 6h 30ish mins on the last cycle, but I barely used my phone and had it in airplane half the time I was at work due to very low signal.

NONE of this is on LTE though, so that helps a ton I'm sure.

I'm having the cell standby issue. I tested it last night by not plugging it in when I went to bed. I put the phone down at 11:00 pm and when my baby woke up at 4:00 am to eat I checked it and it was down to 14%. The problem seems to be it isn't sleeping. I think this is bloatware causing this I don't have any new apps on I didn't on my old phone. Wifi is on never sleep when plugged in. I'm on Verizon.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theroyalwe:
Purely anecdotal evidence, but I've found that NFC uses up my battery faster. Also the cell signal strength makes a huge difference (I imagine it's ramping up antenna power to compensate for low signal) and using WIFI is MUCH better on battery than using mobile data (3g or 4g).

I'm averaging between 20 and 25 hours per charge and have only had it go all the way to 0 once during the day. This is significantly better than my SGSII, where I needed to carry a spare battery with me if I wasn't going to be at my desk.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vinuneuro:
This is one of my better ones. My battery life isn't too much worse if I use the phone heavily like this. I'm starting to wonder if cell standby might actually be consuming a lot or whether something in the background is (Chrome has been identified as an offender in the Intl forum).

Lux auto-brightness: usually around 50% brightness.

Wifi and Data always on.

Sync always on: every 5 min.

Feel like my battery life sucks. I have been browsing the Internet for about an hour now after a full charge and am already down to 87percent. This is my third charge cycle. Last one I only got about 13 hours with barely 2 hours screen time. Only thing that syncs regularly is Gmail. Facebook about every 4 hours. This seems really low compared to everyone else. I'm in a lte area and only keep my screen about 30% brightness. I I'm even rooted and have froze some bloatware. Have there been some defective batteries going out or is it my phone? I'm running battery stats now to see if I'm getting wake locks.

I haven't really gone through a complete charge cycle but the closest I've gotten to completely draining the battery was last night. This was probably a little over 2 hours of screen on time and about an hour and a half of screen on time

I just wanted to throw my two cents in... I am completely amazed at the battery life of this phone! I got my Verizon gs3 on Friday and last night was the first night I used it at work. I stream slacker for at least 10 hours per night. My monthly data usage runs around 15gb/month (thank god for keeping my unlimited)!

Last night I started at about 98%. After 10 hours of streaming (screen off and power saver enabled)and 1.5 hours of reading email, surfing & watching a few videos during lunch & breaks, I left work with 35% left! Holy s##t! I would have gone through At least 3 full batteries on my droid2. I never even had to hook it up to the charger.

To me, this is icing on the cake of a beautiful, wonderful phone...

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

I got my GS3 on the 1st of July - 16 GB Pebble Blue version Tmobile from walmart.

And first 7 days battery life was fantastic. I use it almost always at home on my wifi and i would routinely get 12-14 hours off of a full charge with pretty heavy usage. But ever since like almost 3 days ago it seemed to be going quicker and quicker. And now (as the screenshot will show) every since that time even after i have charged it it just keeps adding up total time saying 2 days 20 hours 10 minutes 5 seconds on battery.

When i charge it that time will stop and not go up at all. but as soon as i unplug it from charger that "clock" starts ticking again. Did battery pull thinking maybe that would help. It seems the two are connected because once it started where the time on battery wouldn't reset, the battery seemed to drain faster and faster than it had. I haven't over charged battery or anything like that. I never fall asleep with it plugged in. The longest the battery has ever been at 100% is about 5 or 10 minutes. I tried searching on the net for answers for this but couldn't find anything. It is tough because it's not easy to word my problem that makes it easy for google to find an answer for me.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I can't believe i'm going to say this but the battery life on my damn Thunderbolt was better than I'm getting on my new SGS3. I charged it overnight and unplugged it at 7a.m. I have barely even used the phone this morning, a couple texts, a quick glance at facebook and one phone call. For the most part it has just been sitting on my table. At 9:30a.m. now it has 86% battery remaining.

[General Questions and Answers] BlackBot:
First I'd like to say I know the LG has better specification in terms of performance, but this isn't about that.

I'm not quite sure which i should pick.

I like Sony's design slightly more due to the transparent bar on the xperia.

But LG has a flat rear side and from what i have seen Xperia P doesn't, flat is nicer.

With that said, the LG has a worse location of the speakers, But that doesn't bother me if the sound is comparable to SXP.

The advantages of the LG are: expandable storage, ICS as stock, larger screen, better resolution, probably better battery life

Although i do prefer the size of the SXP slightly, it's a shame that the transparent bar is not fully working as notification area.

(Note that I'm not that interested in the actual specifciations, I just want somehting that does not lag, see note further down...)

However it seems the SXP/SXS model is having pretty much odd issues, But the LG is a bit pricy.

I want a phone with alu, because it feels so much nicer in the hand compared to plastics, and with ICS, so the options are limited.

So... ...Which one should i pick?.

What i don't want is a laggy phone, currently got GingerBread on an old xperia x8 - it's not such a great experience.
[General Questions and Answers] BlackBot:
Sorry about that, was not quite sure where to post it. Thanks for moving my thread to the appropriate category.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
The LG is the better choice,just for the screen resolution and ram,and the solid build.

I think you know this,as you have no major issues with it. If you must save money,by all means buy the xperia,but if you can fork the extra, get the better phone and have a good experience. Go LG way.
[General Questions and Answers] BlackBot:
Thanks to or due to a discount at a local store i went with the Sony.

Guys I am sorry to disturb you all !!!

First of all it is an AT&T unlocked Galaxy S Captivate phone in India.

It had UCKK4 ROM.

So I tried to flash CornKernel_UCKK4_v70A.tar via odin 1.85 rightly placed the file in PDA.

The ODIN failed and gives the error, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and Try again" :crying:

I will be highly thankful to helps. :good::good:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Before flashing the kernel, I'm assuming you had put the phone into download mode, correct?

If not, make sure you shut the phone down, then hold Vol- and Vol+ and insert the USB cable. Once it's in download mode, try flashing again.

If that doesn't work, take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" thread in my signature for some more ideas.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eternitys:
Thanks for your reply.

I had been in recovery mode. With drivers installed.

I have tried Vol+/Vol- method about 10 times but always have the same screen.

NO DOWNLOAD mode. :(

Even tried the jig I used for SGS but now with jig also the download mode is not coming.

Btw I am very very thankful for your reply.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
That's odd. A jig that's putting 301 kOhm between pins 4 and 5 should kick you into download mode no matter what.

What exactly happens when you hold V+/V- and insert the USB cable? And are you doing it with the phone completely off?

Also, if you are able to get into recovery, is it stock recovery (with 4 options to choose from) or ClockworkMod Recovery (with about 7-9 options to choose from)?

If it's Clockworkmod recovery (CWM), mtcarey released a CWM-flashable version of his kernel that you could try.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you're wanting to try ICS, take a look in the development section. There are several roms to try out - just look around and see if any of them look appealing to you.

Just as a word of caution, look for the "Encryption Unsuccessful" thread and read about that error message in there. ICS roms have a small chance of causing a serious issue for your phone, and it would be good to make sure you know the risks before flashing.

Other than that, just know that you'll probably have to flash your first ICS rom twice - once to set up the framework, and the second time to fully install the rom.
