Screen on time 3 hours and 10 minutes, won't let me upload that. What can I do to prolong the battery even more, or is this probably as good as it gets?
That's about as good as it'll get with 3hrs 10min screen on.
It's weird how they give stock batteries that are just a little short. Example:
I got an evo 3d battery for my sensation which only has 200 mah more capacity, but with ics and a new battery, I finally have a phone that lasts for the whole day with heavy use.....

Was that wifi only? How do you nexus guys deal w that. Get an extended battery life a 3800.

I'm too busy working to try and use my phone for a third of my work day
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I get pretty much exactly 4 hours of screen time unless I really spread out the usage.
-Android revolution HD 4.0.0 rom
-Stock kernel
-Running Wi-Fi most of the day - but with lots if dropped connections
-Still dropping the non data signal a lot too.
-autobrightness on
standard usage - twitter, Facebook, tapatalk, YouTube, chrome beta, texting etc.
Could probably get it to 4.5 hours if I was trying.
I'm tempted to try a new kernal - maybe the Jame bond kernel which gives some people 5 hours screen time apparently.
That's not bad at all. About average for most phones. If you can't deal with it, buy a bigger battery.

Turning off bluetooth / wifi when not in use? What's your screen brightness level and do you have many widgets updating constantly? Things like that will drain battery, try checking into those.

You can get better. I get 5 hours screen on time using Trinity's experimental alpha 1 kernel. I'll try to upload the photo, xda app is being kind of finicky .

I've got one of these bad boys:
http://www.newtrent.com/store/iphone-external-battery/icruiser.html
Used it for my Nexus S when traveling and now my Galaxy Nexus. They have a new one that's 12,000 mAh. (the one linked is 11,000) Support is kick ass.
I know the end result is trying to save money while increasing battery, but at least I can use this for multiple phones, 3DS, etc. Plus I NEED it for GPS when traveling due to my vision. Worth the investment.

I just got mine today as well, after talking myself out of it since it's release...mainly because of lack of removable storage, signal issues, and camera quality. I'm not having any signal issues despite the fact that I live in a generally poor reception area, camera isn't as bad as I was expecting, and I think I can live without the MicroSD slot in exchange for the sheer beauty of this phone. The materials also feel nicer than I thought they would. The OS is a surprisingly big improvement over 2.3, enough that I think i'll actually wait a bit before flashing any ROM's. Very very nice...

I've had mine for a week now...
And I'm happy with it... NO CARRIER BLOAT, faster updates direct from Google, etc. I have to admit, however, that I was skeptical that it could replace my SGSII (T989) but I'm happy to say it was eBay'd this morning. And after seeing the SGSIII, I'm glad I didn't wait and I'm not looking back.
I like these threads Just got mine the other day, too. Sold an iPhone 4s and have no regrets. This is the first time I've used 4G and its great when I'm away from wifi. The ability to customize just about everything on these devices with Android won me over.

If ur phone is new u can't judge battery life immediately, give it a few days. Plus, update to 4.0.4, i was getting 4hrs on 4.0.2 and now it's over 5hrs screen on every charge, using stock 1750mAh.

No. I can personally attest to the fact that the GPS on the S3 is very, very good. I don't know what you mean by the surf antenna, but I do know that it utilizes GLONASS. Locks consistently in under 3 seconds, accuracy within 6 feet most of the time.

I have a couple co workers that have the s3, one on Verizon and one on Sprint and its pretty damn awesome. We travel for work so I had the one who has Sprint use GPS and it seems to work great along with great battery life on a bigger better screen. And he gets faster download speeds too. I'm personally holding out for the next Nexus which should be here this fall hopefully or close to the holidays, but you have another upgrade coming so you are good. One good thing to do is just go to the store and play with them as long as you want then maybe wait a day or two, to be sure.

Turned off diagnostics how does that affect battery life? And that usage was on 4g just got home and turned on WiFi. GPS is always off. Anything else?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Turning GPS and WIFI off makes no difference. Those draw no power unless they're in use. WIFI only passively looks for a signal when it's on (every 30 seconds and gps is only active if an app uses it. Juice Defender will cause your battery to drain faster too.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
My battery life takes a dive when leaving GPS on all the time I don't know if it has something to do with jelly bean or not? It also keeps the phone awake, thus definitely using more battery.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
So many devs would like to have a talk with you...
T-Mobile Galaxy S 3, stock and rooted.
Actually the 4G radio uses more battery than wifi. Wifi can turn itself off after inactivity, having apps syncing all the time if you have it on will drain battery immensely. Mainly because it's suppose to be sleeping yet it still running and working and those apps will have a great time doing that. also depends how long you had phone, I have read batteries tend to drain faster after about 5 to 6 months of use.

Ever since Jelly Bean (cm or tw) battery life just isn't what it was on ics I was pulling 20 hour runs with 4 hours of screen time with ics, now I can barely get 9-10 hours with 2 hours of screen time.. It's almost like I'm afraid to use my phone because it'll die.. Very frustrating ik. Hopefully Google addresses this issue in android 4.3 (presumably key lime pie)
Until then, turn off Google Now, and maybe try to pinpoint some random app possibly causing wake locks and not letting the phone sleep properly (with the use of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 )

I know you said you don't plan to root, but if you're looking for some real results you may have to..I'm talking about flashing a new rom/kernel. If you do decide to go this way, I recommend a debloated and slimmed down tw rom with lean kernel.

Considering getting one of the latest rooted ROMs, but only if the battery life is improved. Anyone know of they bare better than stock 4.1.2?
Thanks
Any rom can be great because the rom itself really has not much bearing on battery life at all. What's going to impact battery life is kernel, user setup and how you use your device.

There are options to fix this issue with apps like that. Facebook is probably the worst with 20+ processes running in the background. Greenify is a great app to deal with those issues.
