I know using the phone constantly drains the battery alot faster but I think mine is abnormally fast.. right now I'm at 4 hrs and 25 mins and I have about. 15 % battery left.. that seems kind of drastic. It shows my screen draining at 53%.. does that seem normal or is that bad..

My first full charge lasted me about 13 hours with moderate to heavy usage and I still had about 40% left when i plugged it in. I was on WiFi for about 8 of those 13 hours but I also had 4G and Bluetooth turned on with my Jawbone connected.
Every day since then has been just a tad different but nothing too drastically different than that. This phone is awesome with battery compared to any other Android phone I have had.

I feel your pain. The other day my phone was dead in 6hrs with 2hs screen on time

20-30 hours
I've been trying to get people to rate their usage in percent per hour (%/hr) makes waaaay more sense.
For example, with data always on, wifi on and off through out the day, I'd say light to moderate usage- I'm pulling in 5-6%/hr. Which is pretty good for stock. My Evo pulled down about 8%/hr stock.
With CM7, and Tiamat or SavagedZen kernel on OnDemand with the Evo I averaged 2.2%/hr. Just waiting for the E4GT to get all up to speed in the mean time.
With 3.5 hours of constant data use yesterday, my phone was at 63%, so constant use all the way would be about 7-8 hours. I'm talking about surfing, pandora, in a crappy signal area pretty much all the time (I have ALOT of downtime at work). That puts my EVO to shame. It would be dead in 3.5 hours, lol
17.5 hours on time.
1hr 15 minutes screen on
70% battery left
I also use Data Switch to shut off my 3g connection when not in use so I typically have pretty decent battery life.

Oh man, with data turned off my Evo would last Days. With data off I averaged bout 1.1%/hr.
You also have to take into account that the batteries need to be "broken in" by charging and discharging several cycles to be able to tap into the full capacity of the battery.
I have noticed that my battery gets sucked down if I am in a low signal area otherwise I get about 10 hours.

I'm not doing too bad this time around.. I'm at almost 7 hrs and I'm at 49% not great but not terrible either
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
OP, the issue is network related. Your phone has no reception so it's either roaming or searching for signal. Unplug you Air rave if its not working with the phone because all that will do is make the problem worse. Use JuiceDefender to control your data networking and as far as cell reception goes (calls/texts) either use airplane mode or just leave it on and try it out. See if that helps you. Some users have been complaining of signal issues with the ET4G, you may want to try a Photon (I know this phone I'd far superior) but Motorola gets the best reception!
anyhow, goodluck and post your findings plz

17-20 hours of moderate use
I got to 33% after 6 hours, so it looks like 9 hours for me, listening to podcast while getting ready and listening to Pandora for 30 minutes during the commute over 4G. Then wifi the rest of the day at work, checking emails and making calls.
I tend to think that if not for Exchange Active Sync, I'd probably get more like 12-15 hours.

OK, this Android OS bug is bugging me. I haven't even used the phone at all and it's 11.30am and I already lost 55% battery life, took off charger at 5am. Guess the culprit...
I really don't want to flash some custom ROM or root yet when a stock ROM is not out or start from scratch reset but I like everything about this phone and came running into its embrace from a NS4G that I thought had a terrible battery and craptastic radio. This is absurd.
So perplexed at the moment...

I've flashed to Starburst v1.5 and I have been getting 10+ hours with pretty heavy/frequent use.
Phone is sitting dormant really with just very little use. Has been off the charger since 6:30am and its not 2pm and I am at 88%.
just checking email and doing my fantasy football updates. Little web action to unsubscribe from some sites and that is about it. Definitely much better than yesterday. Rebooted and got my Android OS taking 30% of battery instead of 54% and got juicedefender running on aggressive. Seems like my battery is super good now.
Heavy use... About 12hrs. Live wallpaper, FB, maps, gps, 4G, games, etc...
Light use.. around 21hrs. I was still at 30% when I took that pic. I don't know maybe it could do 30hrs. Live wallpaper, FB, and text from time to time...
Running stock btw with no battery helper apps or juice defenders, and Im using the "Galaxy" live wallpaper. Still, even for heavy use this thing has lasted me. Very happy with the battery life.

Here's a way to calculate your expected usage. It isn't exactly precise but it will give you a decent estimate.
Gmail/contact/calendar sync on.
Battery consumption:
1) Screen off, wifi on - 0.5%-1% per hour.
2) Screen off, 3g on, good signal - 1% per hour.
3) Screen off, 3g on, bad signal - 1 - 10% per hour.
4) Screen on, minimal brightness, reading e-books - 1% per 8 minutes.
5) Screen on, minimal/medium brightness, web browsing/youtube - 1% per 4 minutes.
6) Screen on, minimal/medium brightness, games - 1% per 2 minutes.

Either your phone is defective, or ... Come on! I can get 6-7 hours of youtube. Streaming music with the screen off must use much less battery.
Something else is draining your battery in a big way.
In all likelihood, you are used to gsm phones, and not CDMA. With CDMA phones, having a weak signal result is a HEAVY battery drain.
So, if you signal is kinda weak, in an office or other place of work, you are likely to burn battery.
My Sprint signal is very weak at work. What I do to save battery is switch to roaming.
My secondary roaming provider has a much stronger signal. Their cell tower must be much closer..
So, the battery drain while roaming is almost as low as with Sprint with a good signal.
For CDMA phones, there's paid app in the market called Roam Control.
Using that app to switch to roaming and save battery is the only way I know...]
EDIT: Ok, I lied... I just thought a bit more about the issue.
There's another way.
You can flash a verizon PRL instead of a Sprint one. Verizon usually has a stronger (and less battery draining) signal in my area...
1% per hour at idle with no use (idle) here.
Goes up with use.
6 - 8 hours of medium duty use (web music ect)
4 hours of streaming netflix
overall compares very favorably with every android device i've ever used (starting with launch day moment (nov 2009)
this is with everything on 4g, bluetooth , gps ect. with no effort to save batt. usually in a marginal service area.
This is what I'm getting using my current Rom. Not sure if this is good or bad

I get between 12 and 18 hours depending on use. That is ****ty. I run calk's rom.
This is an average day for me. The major drop is when I took the battery out to test something. I'm lucky if it's 49% by 8PM and it's almost always in standby. I never get to use data because sprint sucks where I'm at so I'm pretty dumbfounded that this is my battery life.

No bluetooth,
I have been running wifi since noon, 12:30ish
I haven't seen a battery life thread for the AT&T S3, so I'll start one.
Mine is around 13 hours with moderate use. I listen to podcasts for an hour in the morning (commute to work), read Pulse News and Facebook for about an hour at lunch, and listen to another hour of podcasts for the commute back home. By the time I get home, I'm around 13% life. I usually get the battery warning while listening to my podcast. In comparison, my GNex GSM gets 17 hours with the same use pattern. When I get home, I'm usually around 37%. Besides Samsung's and AT&T's bloatware, same apps, no widgets.
All told, I am very disappointed with battery life. I don't believe in underclocking my CPU in or disabling haptic feedback. I use the "Power Saver" mode, but only use the reduced screen power consumption feature (reduces framerates and brightness). WFI is always off (I don't have WIFI at work). I also disabled all of the Motion features. I disabled S-Voice (it monitors for the Hi Galaxy, and disabling also allows for a very responsive Home button).
I calculated my idle battery drain (unplugged when fully charged and not touch it) at around 4.4% per hour. That only gives 22.7 hours of standby! My Galaxy Nexus GSM can go at least 2 days (sometimes I forget to charge it at night on the weekends - also not used the phone).
Is it AT&T's LTE? Is it the Gsiff_daemon process? Is it TouchWiz? Or is it just my phone?
What's your battery life like?
You pretty much hit it right on the head. I had the extended battery from Samsung on my Gnex and could easily get 20 hours with moderate usage.
This phone despite using CM10 or AOKP with the JB kernel I never see battery life that good. I'm in the 14-15 hour range with about 3 hours of screen on time. That's with wifi off, and we don't have LTE yet. All in all, it isn't very good.

Stock? What features do you have turned off? Do you use WIFI exclusively? Do you turn off your data network (LTE/HSPA)? Did you turn off Sync?
I don't use WIFI, and I leave my data on (as it should be - just like I had it on my GNex). I also leave sync on. I understand that using these decrease battery life, but come on... not like this. The GNex faired very well, and it had a smaller battery. Besides LTE and an S4 (and the S4 should be more power efficient), there isn't much different between the GNex and the S3.
If I turn on the screen for 8 hours, there won't be enough for sleep time! It'll just die... if it even makes it to 8 hours...
20+ hrs with multiple accounts syncing at 1 to 2hr intervals, screen on time of average 4hrs. Heavy use. Wifi on all the time.
stock, rooted, debloated, super-aggressive power management I was getting maybe 12 hours with 2 hours screen time.
I saw you didn't believe in underclocking, but I started using Cpu Editor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798765 and am loving it, can do 16 hours and 4 hours of screen time with no problems, will do the trick for me.

You have a faulty radio.
I consistently get 40+ hours off charger with 4-5 hours screen on time with a couple hours of browsing, 3-4 hours of music, texts, an hour of calls or so, playing casual games for another hour.
Stock. No hacks. No root. Disabled all unnecessary carrier and samsung apps and disabled GPS unless i need it. Auto brightness, 2 hours sync for weathereye, flipboard and gmail syncing all the time. I do mostly use Wifi at home because my signal at home is bad and that quickly drains my battery. At work my phone idles for eight hours at a 2-3 % loss with 3G on (i use my old SIM, i do not have an LTE plan, I am on Rogers Wireless).

You consistently (or have ever got) get 40+ hours off charger with 4 to 5 hours of screen time? Do you have your phone hooked up to a car battery?
I just factory reset (wiped data and cache) the phone and installed the apps I need (maybe something was badly configured or something) - did that yesterday night. Charged it up for this morning, and now I got 18 hours and still have 17% left. Screen on time says 1:38 hours.
This is on the same stock rooted and deodexed ROM. No hotboots either, so gsiff_daemon didn't rear it's ugly head.
Also no CPU Sleeper or any of these underclocking apps. I'm happy now, but wondering wtf was causing the problem... and will it happen again (after all, this is only day one).

Phone finally died. Just over 19 hours. Heavy use towards the end because I was downloading and installing the rest of my apps from Google Play & Amazon App Store. Was also setting the apps up ( accounts, settings, and notifications...). Final screen on time was about 2 hours.
It's only been two days since I've had the phone, I've gotten about 14 hrs with roughly 3.5 hrs screen on time. I hate when I see people with 2 days off the charger and ridiculous screen on time. If you put the phone in airplane mode and ran just the screen you probably wouldn't last 10 hrs unless it was on low brightness. I had the Razor Maxx and I could get around 30 hrs usage with 4-5 hrs talk and 6 hrs screen on and that's the best battery life I've ever gotten on any phone with real usage.
I would like to get better stand by and more screen time out of this phone without getting an extended battery.

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".
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.

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..

Lucky you! I've been working on tweaks to my stock rooted system to get past 7 hours with data on. I'm going to test tomorrow or Monday.
Looks almost exactly like mine.
Man what are you guys doing? Here is mine over the past few days.
Mind you this is about 15-30 of minecraft and Epic Pirate Story during lunch. Full data and sync on with 4G/3G but mostly WiFi. About 30-40 min of web browsing. Tons of google talk and feedly news reader. Tons of pictures and about 5 min of video taken for each of those days.
Only mod to the phone is the camera mod.
pictures may be out of order but I think you get the just of it.
it all comes down to screen on time. less than 4 hours of screen time between charges is not very good.
Seeing a little over 4 hours of screen on time while using the AOSP roms.

I already hit a 5h 15m mark once letting the kiddos watch a movie off the internal and then Netflix. The movie was hour and forty and Netflix took it down the rest of the way streaming on 4G.
on average I get roughly 2.5 to 3.5 hours in each charge which I'm fine with considering I could barely hit 8 hours before a dead battery with 2 hours screen on with my old Epic 4G Touch.
I'm sure I could get 4 hours screen on time if my phone wasn't the on sprints horrible network. I'm constantly searching for a data signal in Arizona. I do usually get just over 3 hours screen on and about 18-21 hours total between charges.

I unplugged my phone at 100% at 4 AM once, woke up at 8, it was down to 75%. Wifi and sync were on..

Sounds like you have an app in the background doing something. Even my Epic 4G Touch wasn't that bad. Maybe a weak WiFi and or cell signal causing the battery to drain faster.
An update was this weekend.
Unplugged phone at 908am saturday morning. Plugged it in Sunday night at 1145 with 5% battery.
during the weekend I played Epic Pirate story for 25 min. Shot 150+pictures. Shot about 18 min of video. Wifi coverage was 50% of that at home and the rest was 3G/4G. Oh and streamed two episodes of revolution VIA FTP from my home Android server on 4G. Other than that I cruised the web and used feedly for news feeds.
At work I generally drop 3% in an hour and half without touching the phone with 50% cell signal and corp WiFi at 25% signal strength. At home I have an Airave and pull from WiFi(I have to access points in the house for solid coverage so signal never drops below 50%) and I drop around 1% per hour. Signal really matters when it comes to battery life.
I believe my screen on was around 3h40m.
So all in all I am impressed and love this phone!! Just wish the camera wasn't so crappy.
im at 7.5 hours with 66% left.
Light to moderate use including web browsing and about 15 min of angry birds star wars. Rooted Stock Rom with Loki's IA tweaks as my daily.
Sigh. 35 percent.

I went into settings and used the quad core control. I dont notice any difference in speed but i am also not a gamer. You guys that are having not so good battery life may want to try that and keep screen brightness below 40.

I tried that for two days in a row and didn't see any difference in battery life. Performance was untouched as well so I think that maybe it's already on and/or the app is broken.

Yep that is about what I get with screen on less than 2 hours.
So yesterday I played Epic Pirate story with 50% brightness for 45 min and dropped 25% in battery. Then about 10 min after I stopped playing my battery jumped up 7% LOL. I am seeing this a lot with this phone as it seems that the way the battery is read throws lower % than what is actually there. Odd thing...

It does the exact same thing to me.
Or when I barely use my phone for an hour, then start texting it drops about 3-5%

For me I don't see any real drop when texting or anything like that it's only when I run a game or something that really pushes the phone. When I stop playing I'll be at say 50% and then when I look at my phone 10-15 min later it's up to 55-59%. It's like the app reading and watching the battery miss reads it during an intense usage period.
Here's me.
Unrooted.
seems like battery dies sooo fast when listening music.
