I think some phones came with defective batteries. I'm running juice defender and could easily make it through a 16 hour day. 3-4 hours of screen time was not uncommon. 3 months later, and I can barely get 10 hours of use and 1.5 hours of screen time. Time to get a new battery!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ant_129:
I am not sure what is going on. I don't have the best battery life I can get 10 to 12 hours moderate use. Steaming music, reading rss feeds, checking email, 2 to 3 hours screen on. I would easily last a day on my iPhone 4. I have juice defender, lowest screen setting, custom kernel with under volting. I think it has something to do with my area. Att is so congested in my area I am barely able to use data sometimes. It's better with lte but still an issue at times.

People use their phones differently. Just saying.

If I don't turn the screen on, with LTE data, my phone dies in 9 hours (I tested it). And this doesn't mean there's a problem with it. I have around 15 different push notification apps running in the background, all of which are using data almost continuously. I don't think I can expect it to last much longer. And if I know I'm not going to be near a power source for longer than that, I simply turn off syncing to get better battery life.

To me, it looks like the LTE radio is the biggest battery hog. Let's see if the iPhone 5 can somehow get around this problem so that other manufacturers can take note
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
I was going to mention this. I noticed a significant improvement in battery life once I used JuiceDefender to turn off data while my screen is off. 4G LTE is the main culprit of most of the complaints for battery life (in addition to brightness). That is going to be a big problem for the new iphone if they can't get the battery management for 4G correct. It has taken Samsung a couple of years to get the battery working decent with 4G. I have my doubts that Apple could top them the first year running LTE on the iphone. Who knows, maybe that will be the "new" feature they have been working on over the year, LTE power management. That's the direction Motorola has headed in their new RAZOR MAXX devices. We'll see, either way, the consumer comes out on top as we have more competition to drive down prices and receive better products each year.

Best battery life for SGS3

With AMOLED and Android u gotta take special measures to get good battery life:

- kill bloatware. NostalgiaTurboSlim script will help. Or freeze unneeded apps - like Maps and enable them only when needed.

- disable various notifications - Play Market, WiFi etc

- disable ads - root and download AdAway app - they steal your mobile traffic, battery life and make you blind!

- put dark nonLive Wallpaper

- remove any widgets you don't use. I just removed all of them.

- disable animations and transitions

- disable haptic feedback

- disable touch tones/sounds/vibrations

- try using nonAuto brightness (I gave up on that - sunlight does not allow me to change anything manually)

- disable autorotation

- use dark Opera browser user.css

- use inverted or dark themed apps and Gapps, there is dark MMS, Twitter and Facebook in my ROM

- downclock CPU to 1GHz, or enable PowerSave On.

- use modern KToonsez kernel with PegasusQ governor, it downclocks CPU during screen off

- use CPU1 disabler script if your ROM/kernel supports it

- keep chargers around you, buy them at amazon

- buy spare OEM battery - I'm against aftermarket batteries, they are all fake rated

Or just buy latest iPhone 5 and enjoy.

Remember: Android is for tinkerers! That's why we love it! :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shugga101:
Why do people still use some sort of battery management app life JuiceDefender or the like.

GET RID OF THEM NOW !(most of you that use it are probably coming over from an Iphone so you may be new but aren't well educated in how the Android OS works)

This phone comes with its own Task Manager as well as removing unwanted apps that are running in the background that you have previously used and don't need running.

So get rid of these dumb apps that don't do anything.

My battery life sucks right now, but I'm using a work in progress rom. It's to be expected that I'm not going to have days and days.

I typically get 2 to 3hrs screen on time with 10hrs off charger right now. I'm working some kinks out, but it's getting better and better. Brightness is all the way down, always. Gps is never on, same with blue tooth.

I can easily get 18h with 3h screen time before charging (and that includes 9h at work with a terrible signal). My first phone was barely half of that though,luckily for me it died and the replacement has been awesome. I have to wonder if many people who are complaining about poor battery life don't have similarly defective phones.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skatin707:
This is very true, at least the higher heat part. I don't truly understand how heat changes can affect battery discharge, but it's possible as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Euphoria64:
Coming from an iPhone 4 here, from what I can tell the battery use is fairly similar between the two. However, the iPhone was leaps and BOUNDS better with idle battery usage. My iPhone would barely move if at all during the night while asleep, but my S3 will lose 7-10% battery during a 7-8 hour period of just sitting there. This may not seem like much but like I said my iPhone 4 would literally have no change in battery or if it did it would be 1-2%. If you add up all this idle usage over an entire day, that equates to a lot of wasted battery use in my opinion.

I use Juice Defender as a data manager, not a task killer... when my screen is turned off, my data is off. Real simple, this isn't a standard feature that the phone provides. Definitely saves battery life at work with 4g LTE running in the background, not sure what you're talking about.

I'm really curious about that 3150 battery....how much bigger does that make the phone though?? Also, I'm on stock rooted Rom, how would I go about getting a screen off profile? I unfortunately don't have the luxury of a fast internet connection so I literally can't download huge ROMs on my 889 kbps. I've tried thinking I'd just wait hours for it but any link to any ROM that I try to download spontaneously fails an hour or two into the download. Very VERY frustrating.

it doesn't make the phone any bigger, exact same size as original battery.

also try this app for your screen off profile:

you can always flash a custom kernel usually they're way smaller than rom and is what really help battery life

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
Real question is why shouldn't people complain about battery life and why does it urk so many that it is a huge deciding factor?

Let's make an analogy. Think about the human body and how we think survivability today means living to an older age. The human body has evolved over years for a calorie deficit environment. We love fat, we store it, it tastes better to us for a reason...because if we were ever stuck in the jungle, having good cardio and living until 70 won't mean ****t if we can't get past surviving until help arrives

it's the same with battery. its nice to have a flashy phone with a nice fade between screens...but when ti comes down to it a phone needs to be a phone and we should be able to use it for a while and conveniently without having to worry about bringing a charger, second battery etc. Most roms should be built around battery in my opinion. I mean seriously for the vast majority of users, using it for their daily lives, in the majority of cases, what are you going to be doing on a mobile phone all the time that requires hard core overlocking and four cores? Is it really worth having a live wall paper that drains battery all day...if the utility of that wallpaper is only for a few seconds that you turn on your phone to access other apps?

For most people listening to music and making calls will be the most battery consuming process.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] roger85:
People reporting 8 - 10 hours. Is this with usage? What is the screen time?

My battery life increased tremendously when I downloaded Titanium Back up and froze all the apps I don't need. Especially ones my provider (Rogers) installed. They may not appeared to be running in the background, but their services are.

The display drains more battery than anything else. If you are browsing and messaging heavily, don't complain about 8 - 10 hours. That's considered a lot for that. Not even talking on the phone drains as much since your display will be off.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skatin707:
Anybody thinking a 3000+ battery is the same size as our stock battery needs to do some research.

Trust me, it's not legit. I use hyperion nfc batteries (2200). They give me about the same life that the stock battery does. Why? Because it's probably not a legit 2200 even though they are a very popular brand.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zshguru:
You're absolutely right. My only question to the Android devs/OEMs is -- WHY does this make such a big difference? Why can't the Android system be smarter about battery life? Why can't it have a setting to "disable mobile data in areas with weak signal" or why can't it just automatically kill apps/processes from non-system apps that are draining the battery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Or just try it? For $10 even if the battery life is the same as the stock battery you still pay less than for an original replacement battery. As far as I'm concerned , I have a 3000mah and a 3150mah. I don't see any difference between these two but there's a noticeable difference with the stock battery ( more than 2hrs of screen time) so I don't really care if it is not a legit 3000 it is still more than 2100

Other than that the phone is in excellent condition with an Anker battery and TPU case.

Is it even reasonable to try to get something for it or does having those sensors fail pretty much make the phone worth very little to somebody else?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sejanus:
I don't know if this is the right place for this but I wanted to record something at 1280x720p @ 60fps. Is this even possible?

Looking at any spec sheet for the Galaxy Nexus shows that it can do either 1080p24/30 (depending on the site) and I would have thought that it should handle 720p60 since the bandwidth is less (~63million pixels per second versus 55million).

Even going down to 480p the max FPS is 24.

The reason why I want to shoot at higher frame rates is that I want to slow down the playback and do frame by frame analysis of what I'm recording and I thought this was possible.
