[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
OK. So I went ahead with your suggestions and did the following

Factory Wipe again from Settings Menu

Went back to factory Samsung battery for consistency in reports to other users

Took out both my sim and sdcard to eliminate those possibilities

Put into airplane mode

Disabled a bunch of apps (ss on next post)

Still bismal results but better than before. 7 percent an hour drain. Attached all the files. Ideas? Google says phone is awake but bbs doesn't seem to shed any clues for me...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
And here are the disabled and installed apps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5kops:
your phone isnt going to sleep at all....something is keeping it awake..try a stock rom ( any will do) with full wipe. Dont restore anything with titanium backup. Disable auto sync on everything. Set wifi sleep policy to always. See if the problem persists.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
That last run posted was stock 4.1.2 XXELKC firmware and Factory Wipe from Settings Menu. I also performed Wipe and Cache Wipe in the Bootloader (Power Up + Center + Power). All I did was install bbs and never put in Google or Samsung credentials and disabled some stock apps from running.

If your not referring to factory Wipe, can you please explain further? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
Not yet. I'm considering going to either Cyanomod or Omega ROM with Siyah Kernel, but I really want to get my battery levels to reasonable discharge rates to feel good that its not the phone itself before I load any custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miro666:
In at all, smartphones all days more stroger, more stronge CPU, GPU, ROM, RAM...But original battery stay relative weak..Maybe best solution is, you can buy some strong custom battery, wich you can found in Accesories underforum of i9300. I was buying before 2 month battery 4300 mAh, and my battery life is 2-3 days with all rapid using without any special limitations (wifi, 2g, call, sms, sync, etc.).

Thanks. I have a Hyperion 4200 which I bought initially thinking I had a bad battery but it was dieing on me after 14 to 15 hours from full charge with extremely limited use. This is why I started this thread as I am a firm believer I have either a software or hardware bug. At least if i was down to a more reasonable 3% per hour I'd be happy as that's where I was before my problems started and life with the double capacity battery would be fabulous.

Nothing is shut off everything turned on including s voice and Google now! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
On what ROM/kernel though?

Point is the OP has a rogue App, poor Sync regime or hasn't done a planned clean install... or has used a backup method. All potentially bad.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intrudar:
Ultima v7.1 plus persues kernel 29.1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
Rogue App -> How is this possible after I perform a Factory Wipe, and Bootloader Wipe + Cache Wipe? On boot I never entered any credentials or installed any app except for BBS which was loaded from XDA.

Poor Sync -> Being that I was just wiped and no credentials inputted, I have yet to set up any form of sync for email or anything at all.

Clean install -> Being I did wipe and performed no restoration of any form, wouldn't my test qualify as clean install?

Anyway, I'm off to trying Wanam and seeing how that goes tonight.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagdervis:
can i ask if you ever charged your phone with a third party charger?

the reason im asking this question is that i had to charge my phone with a dodgy third party charge bought off ebay and now my excellent battery life has gone sh*t! battery drain is bad but not as bad as yours! so in my opinion that charger caused a problem, i have a hardware defective phone now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
There may be something to this, because I use various sources to charge the battery. I occasionally use iPhone charger, PC USB port and car's built-in charge port. So maybe there is something going on there... You may be onto something there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_Templar:
I had a battery drain issue before but not as much as yours about 2 - 3 precent per hour during standby. I tried to update and initialize firmware using kies and did a factory wipe and it works for me about 1 percent per hour now during standby, dont know whether it will work for you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
I tried factory Wipe and even doing the mega superwipe script and reloading the XXELK image and still no improvement. I'm under the belief its the phone hw now and will be sending it in sadly. Will let you guys know when the phone comes back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
Something is keeping your phone awake. Try resetting it to factory defaults and run BBS for a bit more than an hour. Don't think it's hardware, can't see what bit of kit would keep the phone awake that much.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sailor0245:
Could it be weak 4g LTE signal?

Hello,

I have a problem at work with a similar battery drain, but no where else. The issue was a weak 4G lte signal and phone tried to connect. At work I change the APN and have no issues. I mostly leave the 3G mode in place unless I specifically want 4G lte speeds and have a good connection.

Hope this might help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZ_Nitro:
not going to read the whole thread but it could well be samsungs app, tied up with gps cant remember the name as i dont have my phone on me, its a location aware app and truly kills the battery, look under security? I think...I will post details here later if you want
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
That's exactly what I did with the results I posted earlier on. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35874830

That was a factory reset ran overnight. I have tried CM10.1 and have very similar battery draining results.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
Bummer. I feel your pain. Hopefully this thread finds a software problem but I'm not that optimistic anymore that will happen with everything I've tried so far.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
I appreciate the help but I have the same problem in Airplane Mode. Which apn setting are you using? I'm on att.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
Yea. I'm open for all ideas. Though I'm not sure that will be the problem because I flashed CM10.1 12/28 nightly build and had battery drain results at 7.1% per hour when leaving the phone over night in Airplane Mode. It was a little better but still horrible. Wish I saved the bbs log from that but didn't.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rezapatel:
I haven't faced the same issue on S3 yet, but had another Android with a similar issue.

The way that got fixed was by charging with the original charger to 100% (and keeping it for another 30 mins or so after a full charge). Further, taking the battery down to 0%. And repeating the process.

Don't know how that would apply in your case, where people are suggesting your phone isn't going in a fully sleep state during standby.

Good luck.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
I've already tried that multiple times on two different batteries with no improved results. Even tried erasing battery stats but made no difference. Thanks tho.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodepressiva:
Got a similar problem.

Back on ICS I could get two full days with my S3. Now I have 15% left after a normal day without any real action going on, which really bugs me out.

here are my better battery stats log:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ilzhq9m9zc6pmq8/BetterBatteryStats-2013-01-02_235850947.txt

And screenshots down below.

My problem is also that the original charger takes hours to load my phone. More than 4 at least. USB is the same. I calibrated the charger input and battery mAh with the Battery Widget already.

Once used the charger of my girlfriends Xperia T and was blown away how fast it recharged my phone. It was done in like 45 minutes.

There is something seriously wrong with the sammy charger AND with jelly bean.

I'm on 4.1.2 XXELL4 Germany stock, rooted, unbranded.

I can explain the constant wake when it was charged in that screenshot. It was night, I put it in airplane mode and used a white noise app since I need it to sleep well.

But neverthanless, if I use the charger at days and don't have anything running, it's charging up as slow as always.

As you also can see in the second image, it wakes itself up a lot even when screen is not working. After the last charge for example.

It went from 90% to 35% up to 90% and down to 14% again in 24 HOURS.

Well can't you see that you have a lot of wakelocks? Your phone is not going to deep sleep

Swyped from another galaxy
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saebel:
After reading the BBS stats text and the screenshots,I found that your CPU is in deep sleep for 7 hrs long.It's simply not the CPU that's draining power.IMO,it might be the new XXELL5 modern which seems to be trying to find a signal even with the flight mode on.I would suggest flashing older moderns or may be ROMs perhaps ?

I'm currently using XXLFB modern with ResurrectionRemix 3.1.2 and battery is doing very good.Why not try it out ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodepressiva:
@saebel: are you talking about the OPs logs or mine?

if its about mine than thank you alot for reading the logs, I really appreciate the help

Tonight, I let it charge for 6 hours via the wall charger (the android battery app said its charging only as "USB" thought and net AC)

This time airplane mode was on and no app was running which should have made wakelocks.

As you can see in the screenshot it only charged about 20%....this is insane.

here are more screenshots

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saebel:
@prodepressiva>I was referring to the OP but I did have a look at your screenshots.Your BBS stats are incomplete so I can't really know for sure.But it seems that both of you have a similar case as your battery drain rate is ~8% per hour and without those wakelocks,it might be at ~7% which is the same rate of the OP when he's using the stock battery with no wakelocks.And both of you're using the XXELL5 modern and stock 4.1.2 ROMs.If you search around the forum,there are also other people having battery issuses with this stock XXELL5 ROM.I'm just guessing but this ROM is still new and who knows !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
I will try the rom and modem configuration you suggested over the weekend and report back. I really hope your right on the XXELL5 modem! Because I agree it seems like it can't be the CPU as it looks like it's almost always in deep sleep.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juju66:
Did you find a solution? Mine was discharging very very fast too, caused by my microSDcard which has been corrupted by the sgs3. The main energy was going to multimedia scanner! So, I removed my microsd card, and it's now back as usual!!! (stock firmware, 4.1.2, ~ 24h until complete discharged)...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
Sadly still looking for the solution. I have tried pulling out the SD card already with a factory reset and it had no difference in the battery drain percentage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
That was the first "semi" successful test that resulted in an IMPROVEMENT!!!! So your onto something. Now I'm draining at 6.6% an hour, which granted, is still abysmal but better then where I was at.

I have attached the BBS along with the screenshots showing setup and battery drain window. Any further hints??

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
Well, in the end it looks like a shoddy battery to me. If you can, try swapping the battery out with a mate just to see if that's that.

Tried returning it to stock and sending it in for warranty service? That's what I'd do.

But something is also keeping the phone awake at times. Try GetRIL from Play Store and run it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
Definitely not the battery. Swapped the battery with a friends phone and the problem followed the phone. I do have a warranty claim to use against the phone but being I'm in the US was told a 6-8 week turn around time which I'm absolutely not looking forward to and much rather find a solution. So far the extended battery at least make the phone usable for the work day but does still force me to carry around a charger. I'll give getril a chance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
Wow, then something is definitely off. I'd try going back to the start with Ice Cream Sandwich and see what's what.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped me out. Yesterday my phones screen purple hughed everything even after another factory reset. So I conclude the phone has now hard broken and sent it in to repair. But really appreciate everyone's input. Can't wait till the phone comes back.

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I tried to flash a ROM (don't ask which it was about 7 months ago lol) and my phone can only go into download mode and fast boot. I get the red lettering saying "no boot.IMG no recovery.IMG" I've tried installing all the correct boot loaders and Google images but anytime I reboot to have the images take, it freezes, goes gray and fades away and won't turn on at all anymore until I do a battery pull. Then it goes into fastboot and same thing.

Even tried Odin and says successful but goes to gray screen fading into death like the image attached. Any suggestions would be great.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rabidaries:
That I did. But as I said anytime I return to stock and flash the files, when fast boot has to reboot to take the files it fades to gray :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadallica:
While following that guide, did you try to lock then unlock the bootloader so you will start fresh again? Take note that this action will wipe all your data even the one on the sd card including DCIM folder and the others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rabidaries:
All my data is wiped anyway. When I try to lock the bootloader, same thing, turns gray and fades when fastboot restarts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadallica:
I am not really sure what is wrong with your GNex but try changing the cable and port of your PC. I have seen many people having problems with cables and causing some weird charging issues. I know your issue is not charging but it may be possible that the cable is causing some trouble. So no harm will be done by trying another cable :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Well if you can get into fastboot your bootloader isn't corrupt so you still have a shot at fixing it. Did you fastboot erase all the partitions before flashing them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rabidaries:
Ya but when I try to erase them it just says "failed no such partition" it won't let me erase boot or recovery.IMG cuz it doesn't have one. Just now tried deleting user data and it worked, but rebooting bootloader faded to gray screen again. Its like any change I make in boot loader makes it fade to gray

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wetbiker7:
I originally bought mine on Black Friday but took it back the next day because Office Depot had the 32gb on sale for $20 more. It seems I got lucky because my tablet unlocked.

According to many of the members here, the unlock tool isn't working on many devices yet. Some say it's due to the fact that Asus hasn't added the serial numbers to their data base. Who knows the reason? The fact still remains that many cannot unlock their device. For devices running the Jelly Bean bootloader this means NO recovery and NO root. Hopefully Asus will solve the problem because many are frustrated.

Have you tried to use the unlocker from Asus yet? There is much info on the subject in this forum. I suggest doing some intense reading up on the subject. All of the answers to your questions are probably held within this forum.
