[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stuff:
That is strange. Honestly, I dunno what could cause it besides some random app that you installed.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] master acehole:
i say download a battery calibrator and then go from there
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
Battery Calibrator won't do anything.

Install Better Battery Stats, and when your phone turns on after plugging it in, see what was using the most power. It won't work for the first time but will work in the future.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Psychemage:
Even better uninstall ****ty apps and disable notifications on this like word with friends, scramble with friends, etc. Go into app manager and disable everything you don't use. Report back in a week. :)

I've had the phone for 5 days and gone through maybe 8 batt cycles. I'm not getting more than 2hrs screen time on any cycle. This is stupidly horrible battery life. There has got to be something severely wrong. I don't do much with the phone. I can't even with less than 2hrs to work with. Overnight batt loss is maybe 8%.

Any help is ENORMOUSLY appreciated.

Update

I was able to reproduce something similar. I opened up market\play to do a few updates and once the update process started, I put the phone down on my desk. Updates installed and the screen remained turned on. Now, I don't remember the exact steps or what other apps were running in the background. All I know is that the screen remained on for a few minutes until I manually turned it off.

This could very well be a bug in Samsung's face\image recognition software that handles smart stay. It might be a bug in google play, a faulty app or a combination of things... Because the battery on this phone is actually quite amazing. I unplugged my phone this morning, went to work, updated a bunch of apps, saved local maps to google maps, hung out on facebook, surfed the web... and after 10.5 hours, I still have more than 50% battery left.

That's a good indication that what I'm experiencing is a software glitch of some kind that if left un-attended, could completely drain your battery.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Psychemage:
Try turning battery saver on and check pretty much everything in there. Disable smart stay. Manually turn off your screen when you're not using it. Turn off GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi when you're not using it. Some downloads hang in the Play store if you "update all"... cancel these and download them one at a time. Do not just assume it all went to plan.

These tips on combination with my first post should help. You should get 4 hours of screen time with some phone calls in a single charge. I find certain apps like Scramble with friends chug charge faster than things like reading xda. Chrome for instance on the PC is less battery friendly and more resources intensive than IE. Perhaps the same is true for the mobile version.

There are way too many variables for us to pick out what your underlying issue may be. Start eliminating things and we'll keep throwing out new ideas. Good luck!

I have managed to narrow it down.

- I had 2 updates in market. I pressed update all.

- screen turned off when the first update was almost done.

- I pressed the power key and entered my pass to turn the screen on and left the phone on my desk.

- I kept seeing the smart stay icon, but the screen remained on.

- I moved phone without touching the screen...no change.

- held my hand over the camera at a distance of a few inches and the screen finally dimmed out.

This happened while google play had focus. This is a bug in smart stay or google play.

Somethings definitely up, this battery life is as bad if not worse than my epic 4g.

Did notice one thing... I cleared memory and it said 51 applications closed.... I don't even think i have that many applications on the phone!

Memory eats up a lot of power.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eatkabab:
You're the second person I found that has the same problem as me! I can't even get 2hrs screen time through my day to day. The same day to day that my atrix was giving me 3.5hrs on.

I feel better knowing that I'm not doing something wrong, but could the phone just have that horrible of battery life and all these reports are a fanboi lie with review articles just copying each other?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] svibrant67:
I'm so glad im not the only one experiencing all of this! Lol, i upgraded from my mytouch 4G, i DID notice smart stay would come on at random times, sometimes when i wasnt even looking at my phone lol, disabled it & disabled a whole bunch of other crap & like many others & i dont get 4 hours screen time, more like 2 which sucks, id also like to have my data on all the time (but im forced to turn it off to save battery :(), im rooted & ive uninstalled w.e crap i didnt need/want or felt it was just running for no reason. I'm doing the exact same battery steps i did with my mytouch & its sad =/ i was hoping i wouldnt have to do half of the ones im doing now, i LOVE my S3 but samsung needs to figure out wth is goin on & same with the guy who talked about if the articles r lying) i saw one on tech radar yesterday on battery life on the S3, they r either lying or they got a good phone in a good batch, smh, also experience my screen flickers from time to time while texting (i always close background processes) i notice blotches on the screen while texting at night or in the dark also, again i love my phone but u know, id love to have my data on constantly to check things quick without my battery going down drastically when i barely even touch it =/
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] JayFReaZy:
I too have strange battery life. I usually leave my phone charging over night. When I unplug the battery in the morning, I lose about 10% every hour. However, when I get to around 80%, I recharge it again and it loses battery at a MUCH slower rate. Around 2% every hour on stand by. I'm not sure why this happens, but it does.

Also, there are some instances when I pick up the phone and it's pretty warm. Even though it's been sitting idle for about 20 min. Then there are times when I pick it up and it's normal room temperature. This leads me to believe that there are some processes going on while my phone is idle. I'm trying to find out what apps are causing this, as I believe it is causing my battery to drain while idle. It's very inconsistent, which is making it hard to track down. I don't even have a lot of apps installed. Most of it is actually the bloatware that came with my phone
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] AndroidLonghorn:
I am starting to think it's ATT's LTE connection. I randomly have days where my battery won't make it until 5 pm without really using it very often. Other days, the phone goes all day with 4 hours plus of screen time no problem. On the really bad days, the phone will stay warm despite me closing every app with task manager. I am now experimenting with turning off mobile data (not a permanent solution), and the phone is cool to the touch again. It may be that the phone is burning up the battery in areas where the LTE connection is weak.

Mine did this as well I think it went up 3-4%.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirti_grewal:
Just a little curious...

.

Our devs have managed to port timescape from ARC as well as Xperia S

No disrespect but we all know they are laggy , even stock gb which we got was laggy & ofcourse will be

.

But why didn't anyone port the timescape from 2.1 or even 1.6??

.

Those were smooth, fast (atleast on my device), had cool fluid animations & much better than the gb one, arc or xperia s version
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitefang3456:
Re

2.1eclair and 1.6donut both different platforms. Not possible to be ported to our GB because timescape and other source codes different in different platforms. Porting only works between same platform version like 2.3 in xperia s and 2.3 in x10. If port 4.0 into 2.3 will crash / brick the phone. Only way is to make new ROM,kernel and upgrade/ downgrade. Hope this info helps.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khan.orak:
Pardon my lack of knowledge in rooting and stuff. This is my first android phone Lt15i. I read many tutorials regarding rooting but all I got an idea was that rooting can be done when the Android version is 4.0.3.

I recently updated the phone to 4.0.4 Fw 4.1.B.0.431 via PC Companion. Now I don't understand how can I root my device and I need an app badly which only works with a rooted device. A nice simple step wise method would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

Also the bootloader is locked
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Like you mentioned, there are already threads which tell you how to root your phone.

Go read OverLo4d's thread in the General section. The steps are clearly given there.

But in short, what you need is the 4.0.3 kernel. Flash it with Flashtool. Root your phone with DooMLorD's rooting toolkit and then flash the 4.0.4 kernel back.

Running rooted stock 2.3.6 ROM. I read somewhere on the forums which I can't find now for the life of me on how to have volume buttons skip music tracks...it was a mod posted here somewhere. Does anyone know where that is and if it will work on rooted stock 2.3.6 ROM? Second question, for the stock 2.3.6 ROM is there a way to have my external SD card be recognized as internal and vice versa like CM does? Thanks in advance for the answers! P.S. This is the first day I've owned my GS II so I'm new to all of this stuff...coming from an HTC Sensation.

The "Google Now" product sounds great, and it will apparently work as the inverse to the notification bar? It sounds like you swipe from the bottom of the screen up to display it.

The whole part about your device figuring out your commute to work (along with your other typical behaviors) is brilliant. Every morning I check google maps and have to compare alternate routes, manually determining the least travel time based on traffic.

Now, that will not only be automated, but it will provide me suggestions for alternate routes immediately. "Google Now" seems like the best part of JB so far.

he is using Google Now, so that means he got the OTA if it was not pre-loaded on the nexus correct?

From looking at their other posts The Verge seem to be using demo units, not the free giveaway units.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Camazza:
I think the OTA is just for the Galaxy Nexus, the Nexus 7 was built with JB in mind so of course it will be preinstalled.
