Facebook app is running 27% of my system while idol. The android file system is only running at 16%.
Is there anything that I can do to fix this out is it just an app issue?

you can also try friendcaster. I've never used it myself but a lot of people say it runs better than facebook and uses less battery

It does work but I cant stand the interface. Why can't FB being the billion dollar company that it is, develop an app that works correctly?
I use the Facebook app and every once in a while I'll see it ducking up my battery and I just force stop it once you re open it seems not to take so much battery

I have the FB app and it didn't drain my battery. I'm still getting 3-4 hrs of screen time. Just set the refresh interval to never in the FB settings and also turn off the messenger location. Turn off notifications that you dont need either. Also, always press the back button when exiting apps, not the home button

Yes, use it now (Ulitmate) I have found nothing wrong personally. Mine's set for Data on with screen on, Data off screen off.. I don't have a schedule set or anything (i'm always off and on the phone anyway) does increase the battery life a bit.. Download, try it for a bit.. see what you think overall.
I did use it before, just the light version. it was indeed a battery extender. But now I am using ON(X).

Nope. IMO, battery saving apps like Juice defender burn more battery than they claim to save.

What does that app do?

Juice defender WILL help. I get about 24hrs to a charge. It simply disables data/location/wifi when not in use and can be customized to run different ways for different apps
-SlimBean...the bulimic's choice for the Galaxy III
Hope this helps. It's fully customizable and it does wonders. U can train it to learn your wifi and after a while, never touch the toggle again. Use it for games so they don't go online and pick up those annoying ads (if your unrooted). And u can schedule when the net comes on to get emails and so forth when your not touching you phone.

Been using Ultimate from the beginning and if set up correctly is the difference between night and day for battery life. It works very well with no problems whatsoever on my end.
+1 When setup properly it can save a lot of juice. Or turn data off when not needed it will save a little more than using JD. But I rather have JD running so things are seamless. For Streaming audio like Spotify I find setting for enable/screen off works the best.

Be honest and tell people you have an extended battery.
i got a small issue with JD ultimate:
i set it quite correctly i think, but then, it prevents datas from coming to my phone, even when they're enabled.
let me explain better:
i set it so datas are off when screen is off and on when screen is on.
so i turn my phone on, datas take smth like 5 to 10 seconds to enable, everything normal till here, then the small H or G appear meaning i'm connected through 3G, but even then, i'm still offline... i wait, and wait 5 mins, but still, the H or G is visible on top right of my screen but.. no data.
i disable juice defender, restart my phone, didn't solve.
then i uninstall it completely, restard my phone, and everything works fine again...
anyone could help me on this one?
My Galaxy S III had a really big battery drop. Why is Gallery, Chrome, and Polaris Viewer taking up a combined 10-20% of the battery? How do I fix it?
Thanks!
P.S. I am completely stock and unrooted.

Do you leave them on (don't close them after use)?
Try closing them in running apps if you already exit them properly.

I always close all the apps I've finished using it (by holding down the home button), and it seems now that those three are always open.

Like I mentioned, go in settings -> manage application -> running applications and manually stop them.
If they restart on their own, then something is triggering them (most likely a app or setting).
I went into the Settings, and Android is showing that while they are using up battery, they are not running. And also, over the past hour, Android OS is using up 18% and Android system is using up 16%. Aren't they supposed to use up like 4% each?

Simply being connected to Google Now can be a big battery drain. Definatly something to look into.
Do you have auto sync on? the more things you sync, the more battery drain you get.
OK. And the only app I have enabled to sync is the email client, which only syncs once an hour.

Like 30% of my battery for the third day in a row is Maps, yet I haven't opened maps once. I restart everyday and it happens again. I assume it has to be the gps, but i dont know of any app that is using it, either.
Touchdown uses about the same amount of battery, so I'm wondering if it has some gps feature running I don't know about? How do I figure out what the problem is?

try this, go to your app manager, locate your map(gps) etc.. and wipe cache.
If you turn off your location access i think it might help.
Using anything like Google now ?

So ever since I got my phone, I was wondering why my battery is lacking with my brothers s4 and then it just came to me.
It's the FACEBOOK APPS! I checked the app and it. Uses 40 Mb's which I surprising for me but then I uninstalled both the Facebook app and messenger and my battery the next day improved by a lot (minimum, for me, 45 on screen minutes added to the battery)! I noticed the difference . I'm just sharing this information if you guys have a battery issue like me and have Facebook installed.
Also if you really love Facebook, just use the browser version and make a shortcut and out it on your home screen!
Hope this helped!
P. S: Facebook (when it was installed) did not show up in my battery usage, so I have no idea why it was running in the background

You may wanna try my modded facebook version. it removes the location feature from it. Which is the biggest battery hog. It constantly updates your location in the background. Taking a huge toll on your battery from trying to acquire a GPS lock plus the services themselves running in the background. I am planning on making one that has an "exit" option to fully shut everything down.
Thanks! Can you link me to your Facebook app? It sounds much better than the original one

Should see very little difference! I used to use the website, then i got frustrated with some things, and grabbed the app. And noticed battery drain as you said. i also noticed my GPS lock icon kept coming up. Plus i hated how facebook ALWAYS put your location onto your status updates and messages. So i removed it Now i love the app.

Yeah, i used to have GPS turned off too. Thats why it doesn't kill your battery. I don't like not having GPS off though. cause when i go to use a GPS app, ie weather Google Maps etc its a pain to have to turn it back on.

Thats too much of a pain for me. In all honesty, facebook shouldnt even have an ongoing "tracking service" like it does. Its downright invasive. No wonder people can rape so easily, facebook, by default, is broadcasting their location every time the user posts a status.
But i have a weather app that gets my location ever hour and updates for weather alerts and such. So it would be very annoying if my GPS was off.
...
Unless you have location data turned off, you don't need GPS on for apps to aquire your location.
I have stock gnex on takju, since 4.2.2 I have suffered from lag all over the place, the lag could be fixed by restarting the phone but it would eventually come back.
I have only 300MB of data plan and I noticed that Facebook and facebook messenger where using about 50MB a month on the background without any user interaction and just a couple of days ago I started seeing Facebook app as the second most battery using app just behind screen on, this made me uninstall Facebook and and I instantly saw performance go up all over the place, it was night and day comparison, my phone feels like new and the buttery effect is back.
Now I installed Facebook back just to test and it indeed is the reason for my lag but this time I used greenifyed it and it fixed the lag too.
So there you go, hope this helps

Does matter. I disabled background data (as opposed to removing the app entirely) on Facebook and have noticed substantial speed improvement instantly. The only place you can do it, that I'm aware of, is from the mobile data screen when checking the apps usage.

There are two places to disable notification from Facebook on mobile.
The first would be to go into the settings by clicking on the 3 point button just right of the multitasking navigation key, then disabling notifications.
Second, by clicking on the top left corner button inside the Facebook app, then clicking on privacy settings --> notifications---> mobile push--> uncheck all
Sometimes I think Facebook deliberately tries to complicate the notification settings so as to keep pushing themselves on our faces!

Thanks for the tip, this actually helped a bit.
I've had luck with disabling auto-rotation for some reason. Caused SystemUI to lag after time. Hopefully it'll be patched in 4.3.
