Nope. Stock battery. May be some of you have faulty batteries/radios/firmwares or run too much stuff at the same time.

No airplane mode. Cellular connection is always on even during the night. Only difference is at home i have wifi on instead of data.

Flipboard, weathereye and an appsales app syncing every 4 hours. Auto sync for google account and facebook. Automatic brightness. Almost all samsung and Rogers apps disabled (except for myaccount and a couple samsung apps) and motion disabled since i have no use for the gestures apart from being a novelty the first week.

No root. No hacks. I am actually amazed. This is the first android phone that has battery life on par with my iPhone 4 and the unparalleled smoothness. My HTC One X lagged, this never does even with a few apps installed now including games. I look at my iPhone and think "why do i still keep it? It is no longer relevant".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
Ive got my UV tweaked just right on my ktoonez kernel and keeping my screen level as low as can be and I'm now practically making it to TWO days battery life! Plug in every second afternoon or evening after moderate use. Occasionally it doesn't last as long. Quite happy now. Oh and that's with this baby cranked to 1.809Ghz! But obviously tweaked to use that under strain otherwise using lower clocks and deep sleeping with 384mhz.

Got a 4200mah extended battery on way and can't wait to see how much I can squeeze out of it too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
My GS3 i747m lasts around 50-55 hours per charge cycle..

It is running stock Rogers GS3 ICS, not rooted, all stock. Battery is stock as well.

Not using LTE, using HSPA+ ("4G") with data turned ON with Sync turned OFF

(**NOTE: sometimes, the battery is drained due to poor reception, and the phone will use more power for the cellular signal.. In my case, my 3G connection in my area seems alright for the most part, about 1 bar less from full)

Power saving is turned ON. WiFi powersave is turned ON.

Moderated WiFi usage in 2.4ghz 802.11g-mode only.

Every night when I go to sleep, my flight mode is turned ON. (I sleep around 9-10 hours everyday, so the phone stays on flight mode for 9-10 hours a day)

In the morning, I turn the flight mode OFF.

Bluetooth, GPS both are turned OFF

Screen brightness turned 1/4 brightness

LED notification turned OFF

Also, I have a task killer killing ALL BACKGROUND SERVICES every half hour.

Without killing all the background apps, my RAM usage is around 600-700 MB out of 1.6 GB of RAM

Killing all the background apps brings the RAM usage to around 360 MB of 1.6 GB

Without killing background apps, my battery life is shortened even when the phone is on standby.

Do this, and your battery life is pretty good..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jordant2:
Seems like some interesting tips. What is Wifi powersave? Is that something other than setting 2.4GHz only? Can't seem to switch network mode either, mine defaults back to LTE mode automatically, even though I don't even have LTE in my area. Seems like that would run down the battery searching for an LTE signal that isn't coming. I'll think about turning off the sync, I hear that uses a lot of juice too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
Wi-Fi Powersave is basically saving some juice but sacrificing a little for signal strength.. It can be turned on/off via *#0011# -> menu -> WiFi

choosing 2.4/5 ghz can be done on phone when rooted, or it can be done on your router via 192.168.0.1/192.168.0.0 (depending on your router model if it support dual band or single band)

If you have a single band router, you do not need to do this since it should already be on 2.4 ghz...

ALSO NOTE**** Since you turned on the WiFi powersave function and the signal might be weak, double check in your router admin panel 192.168.0.1/192.168.0.0 and see if your router is running on 20 mhz frequency lanes or 40 mhz frequency lanes... Most router manufacturers make the default stock as auto 20/40 mhz.. I set mine to force 20 mhz lanes

Hm... That's weird.. since you do not even have LTE service, why would you phone stay in 4G LTE mode... It should be either on 4G HSPA+ or 3G UMTS or 2G EDGE....

Check you Device Info -> Status and see what network you are using LTE/HSPA/UMTS/EDGE... If you see it is using LTE in your Device Info, then check for signal strength status dbm/asu values...

THIS IS because you might be on barely LTE with very little bars, and the phone is automatically switching between good reception 4G HSPA+ or 3G UMTS with the crappy LTE signals....

You can solve this simply disable the radio from Auto LTE/HSPA/GSM to HSPA/GSM mode only via settings..

ALSO a key point in battery saving is CLEARING YOUR RAM....

Clear your RAM either by using task killer and auto clear on intervals... OR access Recent Apps -> Task Manager -> Clear Memory

Once you click on Clear Memory, the phone will say 40-90 applications have ended (varies depending on your background apps and idle services running.... Clearing RAM can free your RAM by around 300-400 MB...This can help save battery especially when you phone is locked and you are not using your phone for a long time (such as sleeping)

Hope this helps.

For this model phone LTE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BATTERY DRAINERS. Just keep that in mind.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
Well I would dare say you'd get 50+ hours with those kind of sacrifices! To each their own and if one can live with it then go for it! LTE is biggest power drain on this model so not using that conserves a lot. Power save actual lowers your Max CPU thus reducing power. 10 hours of airplane mode! Wow. Yep that'll work. For people that can do all this they will definitely get more life but its quite a bit to sacrifice.

I love my LTE and I over clock to 1.8Ghz. Never use airplane mode and almost never kill background apps and clear ram. I get very good use out of my phone and have it tweaked beautifully on the STOCK 2100 mah battery but rooted and UV (under volted) and I'm pleasantly getting 40 hours to two days now!

Can't wait til I get my extended 4200 mah battery but this services well in the meantime and I don't really have to sacrifice much at all.

Now no doubt if ur stock and not rooted and can make those sacrifices then all those options will work for battery life. No denying that its just too bad that u had to do all that to get that 50 hours but admirable nonetheless.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jordant2:
I can set it to 2.4 via advanced settings in wifi menu. I'll try the wifi power save too. Just found out that AT&T has the apn locked to LTE/HSPA/GSM. I'm using HSPA+ but I heard if you don't switch off that apn, it constantly searches for LTE. I found an apn that's supposed to default to HSPA only so I'll test that out.

As far as a task manager, I haven't used one since the HTC Hero, lol. Which one are you using? I'll check in the market to find something good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
Yes try to switch back to "4G" HSPA+ or 3G UMTS... LTE is battery sipper, and it will drink your battery juice until it get drunk even when your phone is in standby mode..

I don't know why I have been hearing that we do not need a task killer in ICS......??!!?!

I use the "back" softkey to "exit" all my apps.. But of course, checking the task killer or Task Manager, all my apps are still open..

All task managers seems to be similar.. The ones I use more frequently is GO Task Manager and the default ICS task manager.

@pchemerys

I don't think I am sacrificing a lot... The phone runs as fast as I need it in my daily situations such as web browsing, emails and a little bit of music and YouTube...There is no point for me to overclock even the CPU by one bit... \

I do not play ANY games on my phone..... If I need to game, I got my PSP, 3DS and Vita for it... I just cannot "do" the digital onscreen controls that has no feedback or feel....

And of course, I wouldn't need all that performance since I do not benchmark or watch embedded heavy flash contents on a regular basis....

All in all, what I do is not really a sacrifice.... (Most of the stuff is automated anyways... Task killer is automated at 30 mins, and flight mode is automated at every night 11:15 PM to 8:30 AM)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigb252:
Let's see the screenshots guys. One of the battery, and one of the history details.

Battery life sucks on my s3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rail205:
I too get about 4 hrs screen time. 40 ish hours between charge. Only thing I changed was no lte. Just off a full charge 44mis screen time 96%. No under voltage.

My phone becomes hot while charging in the car. I think 1.0 was the same as now:) also, i only reached 2 hours of screen time. I dont know yet if it is because of google now, or if i can use a better modem.. and occasionally the phone freezes 99%. I can see wifi arrows change but i cant use the phone andLong pressing power button doesnt bring up the menu.

Not sure if this is kernel issue. Maybe you know better!

so after a week of usage I find that this kernel seems very stable have not experienced any crashes like I did with siyah. But i did manage to get longer screen on time with siyah at about 3 hrs compared to DM. But I like how the backlight and vibration works well with this. Also I think once the customization of an app comes along with this it will be able to hit 3+ hrs. So far I think I will stay on this kernel for a while until a stable siyaj comes along. Also I noticed that hotplug seems to use both cores often. Instead of using them separately until core one reaches a certain load

Can confirm the battery is draining quite fast. Cant manage to get over 2,5 hours of screen time. Im thinking to go back to 4.0.3 and darknight for now where utleast 4 hours were expected every day. Besides that the kernel is stable!

That's for AOSP roms...I believe there must be an option in cyanogenmod roms...for the best CPU freq and governor settings, depends on your usage...if you play games then try 1200max ondemand, else keep it default which is 1200max smartassv2...
