I just got my s3 a few days ago and my battery is terrible. it shows that the cell standby is almost every second . Also compared to my gnexus when I listen to music the sound quality is a lot worse and has a lot of static. Do you guys have any of these problems?

Definitely have that problem music sound bad and battery life even worse

Battery life isn't worth writing home about... not the worst I've ever experienced, but not great.
It's annoying that when game audio's playing out the external speaker, you only hear one channel... (some games sound very strange because of that)
However, the thing I have a pet peeve over is that when it's connected to bluetooth, notification sounds stutter most of the time. (not sure how to describe it other than stutter).
I'm uncertain if that issue is isolated to my phone or if it's a general issue. I'm working on getting a demo phone to test if it's my phone or a general issue with Samsung vs Kenwood...
Battery life is amazing on a custom kernel. For some reason (yields I'm guessing) most cpus are horribly over volted. I get similar battery life as my razr maxx now. Sound Quality is meh from the external speaker but pretty good from headphones.

Is this thread a joke? If you don't want cell standby on put it in airplane mode. Otherwise get used to the fact it is a CELL PHONE.

It's just what it's called. Would you prefer there be separate items? Cell standby, cell 2g, cell 3g, cell 4g, cell data, cell roaming, etc.
"Cell standby" is the amount of power the cell atennas are using period, regardless of what they're doing.
It says right on there "Battery used by cell radio", you don't have a separate item showing battery from using the antenna with a different name do you?
I am REALLY hoping tmo allows wifi calling on airplane mode soon lol.
I've had mine for a week, replaced a MyTouch 4G running JB. So far, generally good. My only concern is how badly Temple Run plays on it. Stutter and lag worse than any Android phone since G1.
I'm running stock, uprooted. Any suggestions short of running CM? Could my phone be defective? Temple Run is my de defto standard for phone performance and so far my GS3 is not good.

Ha! Try hours with GPS, Bluetooth music and Tethering on... the heat seems to really hit while I'm charging and doing all that. Fact! I can't touch the ass end of the phone. It probably gets about 8 hours a week like that. Still working perfectly. Samsung tells me it's normal. It also has a lot of factors for me too. I use a 1 amp charger. After 96% it's not so bad. At night when brightness is down. Not as hot. I tried to get it to mess up but couldn't. GPS, Bluetooth, tethering, charging from 30% and 100% display, and I pushed out to a low coverage area. Didn't miss a beat or melt. Lol.

Navigation makes phones really hot, but with normal usage it should stay within 30-36°C.
I like this phone's heat management more than my old phone. My Evo 3d would get hot from 10 min usage.
On this, my screen has been on for 2 hours straight and I'm running at a cool 35.1 °C.

When I was running CM10 for a day or two I thought my phone would melt but it was also 90+ degrees outside so it was hard to tell. My phone gets a little warm, but nothing too worrying.

It actually shouldn't be expected. The Snapdragon S3's also ran at 1.5ghz and was pleasantly cool and the Exynos on the Galaxy Note was at 1.4ghz. Both are less power efficient and should run hotter than the S4. I've used the Evo LTE for a while with the same S4 and it barely got warm on a hot day. The issue is with the second core being weird. For those that hasn't already, make sure you flash Freeza's fix, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790061 . This fix made my phone cool and got rid of my quickly draining battery life.
Most of the time my phone will stay within "normal" (to me) range, but when I game heavily... it turns into an oven range! I've gotten so paranoid a few times, I took the battery out and let it cooled for 5-10min
Im having the same problem....it isnt the software thats causing this its the hardware
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I hope you guys will repsond to this... What do you consider to be "normal" temperature for your phone to reach? Is 35 degrees realy normal? Ive heard people with s3 talk of theirs only reaching temperatures of 29 degrees max.
Thanks.
Okay so I'm in full wtf mode right now. I just got 6 hours if screen time with the stock battery. I under clocked my CPU to 800 MHz(which doesn't matter because this is how much it normally uses any way.) And I set brightness on low plus turned the data off when I wasn't using it. But I've done all this before and have never gotten this type of battery life. Is it the new cm9 beta and the "PEGASUSQ" governor? 6 hours of screen time without a extended battery is supposed to be impossible. Especially with heavy usage.(reading manga/watching videos/listening to music for the whole day )

hell yeah. I got 7 before on a cm 10 rom and 12 on an extended battery. which was like 4 or 5 hours reading but yes. I think if people turn off data the phone tends to last longer. I know a lot need their emails tho.

Check your battery - actually open your back cover and check it. There seems to be a major issue with this phone's battery failing. I checked mine 2 hours ago because I got fed up with the battery drain. And like all the other cases, my battery is swollen and defective. I'm not sire when this happened or what caused it.

that gets caused by leaving the phone on the charger long after it has fully charged and/or overheating on the battery. it does happen a lot while phone is plugged in.
but actually I think you got his post wrong, we're saying we got great battery. 6 +hours screen ontime. My total was like 12 or something... I have some screenshots..

The GS3 does get hot when it's working hard. That's why people are suggesting a list of what apps show up on your battery list. How is your battery life? If you provide a screengrab of the battery screen that shows the apps and the activity it could give the folks here some information. It's most likely an app that keeps the phone awake and running at full power.

I, personally, don't focus on battery life at all. I run Bluetooth all day, listening to my music, play games on it during my lunch hour and other times throughout the day and send texts/emails off and on all day, and it's down to about 40% by the time I leave work on a normal day. That's unplugging at around 7:30AM, and leaving work at about 5-5:30PM, so that's about 10 hours mid-heavy consistent usage.
To me, as long as I get my full day out of it, I'm perfectly content with it. I don't need my device to be a battery warrior, I need it to be a power beast and do what I want it to do, when I want it to do it. I personally dislike apps like Juice Defender and those that disable radios and data on me. I also don't like using CPU scripts to limit the CPU, undervolt it and all that. To me, it just seems contradicting to buy a powerhouse like the S3 and then strip away it's best and most powerful features. I also don't like the small influx of bugs that arise when you start doing things like disabling data and limiting the CPU/voltage. I like my smartphone to be as smooth as possible, all the time, without any hitches/bugs.
I'm a very heavy user and rely on certain notifications as they are sent out, so extending the battery by an hour or two is the most I could hope to gain by using these apps/scripts, and the level of frustration that come with them when I get syncs late or things are sluggish isn't worth it, imho.
Don't take that the wrong way, I'm not saying they are bad apps at all, nor are the CPU scripts completely pointless. I would give them a high rating if asked, because they do their functions well. I'm just saying they don't work for the way I use my device.
2nd day on Goodness 7.03 with the stock kernel, considering my average use it's pretty sweet by the end of the day.
P.S. loving the goodness, has to be tied with wicked sensations for #1 rom in my book

I can only use my phone for around 5hours on time until she dies. This is super annoying because of school it dies before lunch :/. Have flashed many different ROMs, tried different radios, one or two ROMs seemed to fix this but don't remember which ones did . Phone dies 1% every 3 minutes it feels, this is retarded is there any known issues with that or fixes? Sticking with juice defender till I find a better option

do you leave your mobile data on?
also what is your cpu settings?
what rom and kernel you running
and take screenshot of battery usage page and post please
I always leave data on, yes. ROM: Jedi jelly 4, I believe that its insecure kernel because idk any other tw jb kernels. Also on the lb7 blaze radio but I constantly switch those up when I get frustrated with battery. Screenshot may not be accurate because I just flashed at like 430 today, so battery was at like 78% ish on last charge which was around an hour and a half ago. CPU settings are untouched atm

Download GSam battery monitor to find out what is draining your battery. Then we can look at assisting you in fixing it.

Bad battery maybe?

Read my reply to the post here. It's an optional and known way of saving battery life for almost any Android phone and help prevent any overheating that you may experience with the phone.
Is your GPS on all the time? Account sync? Settings and data backup? Auto brightness or manual?
Always let the phone drain to 10% or less then fully charge it uninterruped, meaning dont unplug it.
CPU management always helps, especially with screen off. Also use wifi instead of data if avail at school or anywhere else for that matter

I'm betting its the battery. Place it on a flat surface. If it doesn't lay flat and it has a bulge that causes it to bounce around, your batteries screwed.

Got gsam, have ran it for a day. 100% at 6:00 am, 31% at 3:57 pm. This normal ? I flashed back to stock koodo everything , so is this just the quality of the phone? Yes, GPS is always on. Data is normally left on, although I do turn off WiFi from time to time. I used to have a nexus s and the battery would last for days, yet it's smaller and I never had to turn off things. I even get battery drain like this on cm based ROMs ?!

I went from Jedi Knight 6 to Jedi Jelly 4 two days ago and the Rom is super fast and snappy. Very little lag and no issues with fc so far. I do have a little bit of a battery issue myself. When I use the phone for anything I can sit there for an hour and watch the phone dip to below 80% after a full charge. It seems to eat battery when in use but overnight I get almost 14 hours of left untouched. I would like to get at least 8 hours with medium to heavy use. Is that a reasonable number? I have gone through three battery cycles so far.

Actually we are already discussing battery drain in this thread, so the previous poster did exactly what he should have. We don't want multiple threads for one topic.
Regarding your stats.. That's not too bad, but it's hard to say without seeing screen time, app usage, etc.

For anyone requesting input on battery life, please post screenshots of your battery screens as well as screen time. Also post a screenshot of the app sucker list in GSam battery monitor. It's impossible to say what's going on without seeing anything that's using your battery.
