I started running into some battery issues earlier today. I was on AOKP without any issues and one day the battery just started draining very fast. I went from about 50% to 15% in a matter of an hour. That night I slept with my phone charging and it did to get charged passd 54%. And it's charging very slow too. I thought it might be the ROM so I flashed Slim Bean. But it is not heling at all.
Anyone have anything similar going on?
What can I do?
Try calibrating the battery and go like 2-3 charge to discharge and see what its like afterwards

Will do. I'll post back
Yea it takes a few rundowns to get into the sweet spot, I thought I was getting horrible battery life till someone suggested that to me now I get about 32-33 hrs on a charge. Which I think is about prefect, I don't game on it I just use everything else all the time. I have ps3, xbox360 & psp for gaming
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Well it's been charging for about 6 hours now and it won't get past 54%
I let it charge all night and when I woke up it was finally at 100%. I left for class and unplugged my phone at 7:40. 20 minutes later it was down to 47%. Then another 2 hours later, it was at 11%. Obviously it is draining far too fast. Will AT&T replace my battery? Or does it look like I'm gonna have to buy a new one?
What I normally do is charge it to 100% then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Reboot and don't unplug the phone until it again says that the battery is full. Then run with it and see if it helps.
Go ask them I don't see why they wouldn't replace the battery, it does sound like its shot that kind of drain isn't normal at all

I had the same issues with not getting to 100%. Seems like leaving it on the charger for another couple hours (overnight) got it there.
So I went to the AT&T service shop yesterday and she took my battery and put it in a different Galaxy S III and it showed the battery was charged 97%. In my phone, it showed 23%. She told me that it had somthing to do with my phone being rooted. She said the software on my phone was being "tricked" into believing that the battery is a lot less full than it actually is. She told me to unroot my phone and flash it back to stock. So I did that yesterday and it is still no better. I don't know what to try.
Wiping battery stats doesn't help battery life... Something i learned a long time ago with my X10

My Android system is almost always under 15%. Seeing it that high is alarming. I assume you've tried full wiping and changing ROMs?

Thought I'd try installing CM10 just to see if there would be any difference. Screen Brightness shows up as my highest percentage on the battery usage and Android System is much lower on the list, but the battery is still not charging or discharging correctly.

I would unroot and take everything back to stock, then go back to the AT&T store you went to before and show another service rep that the phone is messed up and see if they give you another one.
Good luck

mrb1946,
Even though your S3 is reporting percentage values as you stated....the PHYSICAL battery did not drain from a real 100% to a real 47% in 20 minutes. It can't actually physically drain that fast. It would be on FIRE! So, either the calibration of the rom/software or the battery itself somehow messed up.
Also, during that time...was the battery/S3 HOT? That physical evidence would account for some of the drain if it's coming from a rogue app or misbehaving rom component. Did you post a battery drain graph? And were you monitoring the cpu activity during these high drain periods? I mean...periodic checks to see if your CPU is stuck on HIGH freq and if you have any wakelocks shown under the battery graph.
If this problem is still occurring, here's a thread explaining a possible drain from android system. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827087&highlight=android+system

strange thing is going on. my battery dropped form 50 to 17 %, than from 30 to 9% ect. before that i took out battery because i wanted to see something.
after that. battery life is getting worse. usually i could get about 4-4.5 hours of screen time. but now only 2-3 hours.
what is going on with my battery
Check your apps and install BetterBatterStats. It could be rogue apps not letting the phone go to sleep or making it work more than it should.

It is often the kernal with the new JB roms. In an older build of Franco's kernal if you opened the camera when you first started the phone it would fix battery drain. I suggest a new kernal! (Franco's runs great on mine! ). If this doesn't work you might want to recalibrate your battery. This app works great, search "batterycalibration" on the play store. It will delete your battery data so your phone will charge to an actual 100%. Hope this helps!

There is so much wrong about this post its not even funny.
All kernels are pretty much equal. It all depends on how you tune it. You cannot calibrate your battery... all that does is delete battery stats. Which again DOES NOTHING.

I've experienced crap battery since moving moving to JB as well. Same kernel and I can only manage 3.5 hours of display over like 8 hours. On Wi-Fi. Whereas on ICS same kernel as JB I was getting 5 hours. Its not just this guy.

I picked up a spare battery over the weekend (identical 1750mAh Samsung batteries), and today I ran the first one from 100% down to below 30%, and swapped. When I arrived home, I popped in the first one to charge it, only to find it is at 58%. I guess the principle is to not pay too much attention to the exact number, and to keep all my batteries as highly charged as possible...
I don't seem to have any rogue apps. The phone appears to sleep very well when I'm not actively using it.

If your battery randomly drops when you reboot your phone do this :
Let it die completely until it turns off, keep it turned off and then charge it completely (usually overnight ) and then turn it back on and it'll show you a very accurate battery percentage

So I bought my ATT GS3 out in Los Angeles this summer and then I returned to New Jersey to find that I have horrible battery life. It was not right away so this could be completely unrelated. As of right now my phone is at 75% and I let it drain while i was sleeping for 10.5 hours. I have tried several different roms which are usually good the first two days and then after that the battery life is bad again. I thought it may be some application I have installed so I removed a few of the ones I remembered downloading since I got back to NJ. I also updated to the latest radio ending in H9 because I was two behind when I checked. I have attached some battery information below. Any help anyone could provide would be great. I have tried Juice Defender which did save some battery life but it also caused a problem where I couldn't use the internet for 10 seconds after I wake the phone.
U need a Rom with cell standby fix
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I thought the cell standby problem only effected the international GS3? If the cell standby fix was the problem then I shouldn't actually be draining that low right? Something must be draining the battery then. Google maps is probably draining the battery but how do I stop that from happening?

Ariel 2.10 fixes everything!
I just installed the standby fix and im going to test that and see if it helps. If that doesn't work I'll try the other roms everyone has suggested. Will take a little while to make sure whats good and whats not though. Thanks for the advice.

Just another observation. Battery tends to drain faster if you leave it in your pocket. If you flash a rom, you might have to calibrate the battery stats. I only lose 1% every 2 hours overnight if I leave it on a cold surface.

So I have tried a few different roms and I'm still not happy with the battery life. I calibrate the battery after every rom installed and I usually keep that rom for atleast 2 days to test it. Right now I'm on AOKP. If the phone is on standby whats the general %/hr? When I go to sleep my phone drops from 92%-75% for about 10-11 hours (on desk at temp 60F). By Apocalypse487's response I should only see a drop of 5-6 % over night when I see 17%. Am I supposed to me losing this much battery life over night? To me I feel like I barely use my phone. Today wasn't too bad with 1 hr with screen on and about 1 hr in calls. I made it about 1 day 1 hour 36min on battery. My phone was sleeping for about 23.5 hours. Is this the typical battery life or is something wrong with mine? Tonight I'm going to try juicedefender and see if that helps.

I'm using ParanoidAndroid based off of CM10. Version 2.16 of PA gave me the best battery life. Try that. Certain Roms have better battery management, but that probably depends on the kernel. PA uses stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I'll give ParanoidAndroid a try and see what that does. So Juicedefender ended up making it so I only lost 1% over 9 hours. Thats pretty good. Way better than I wanted. So what could be draining the power over night. Is it because my data is on all the time but shut off when using Juicedefender?
I use Trinue 2, and I use an app called Go Power Master.
In GPM you can setup options that will turn off mobile data/gps/wifi when the screen is turned off, will automatically turn them back on when the screen is back on.
Those things little things I find can make a big difference for the battery to last throughout the day.

It's as Sianspheric says, common things like gps, data, and wifi uses power. I just started using Juicedefender since my friend told me it helps. Also download battery calibration. It's a root only app. Don't let your device discharge completely. It's bad for Lithium Ion batteries. That will clear out any bad data from Samsung.

Hi All,
So recently I have been having problems with my battery life. It's not lasting as long as it should. However, I do not know whether or not its my data cable, the device that plugs into the wall, my battery, or the charging port in my phone.
I got my phone from best buy, but it was more than 30 days ago, and I have no insurance on it, so I cannot get a replacement without sending it away for at least $100.
Any tips?
Well what battery life are you getting? Get into the Phone settings and then battery settings and post a snapshot of the graph here. Additionally you can also install Batterystat it will give you a full analysis of what's using up your battery power.

I think I may have narrowed it down to the battery itself? I have some battery apps that tell me the health is "good," but what does that really mean? My charging cable is iffy, because sometimes it works perfectly, charging to 100 just fine. However, other times it charges 20 percent in 9 hours. When I used my friend's Note II charger, it worked perfectly every-time. But the fact of the matter is, when my phone does charge to 100 from my cable, I still get not the best battery life, which leads me to believe it's my battery's fault. I am going to test out charging my phone to 100% with my friend's cable tonight, and see what happens tomorrow. I will also get batterystat and report back.
Also, this may be important. When I first got my phone, battery life was AMAZING, really quite astounding. It's just kind of dropped down, like a slope. Not a sudden, dramatic drop, but incrementally.
As for the battery info below, here is what went on today. I unplugged my phone from 100% at around 7am. It is now 6pm. Today, my phone was barely used, just sitting in my pocket with wi-fi on. When I did use it, I sent two very quick emails, played scramble with friends for about 45 minutes total, took a few photos, listened to music from the music player for about 15 minutes, and that is really all I did. I feel that my percentage should be much higher than what it is listed as.
Here's mine as you can see I'm getting almost twice your battery life. I have a few apps that i use everyday which are basically whatsapp, xda, chrome. I don't have many apps that would wake the phone constantly and if there is then I disable them from starting up when the phone is not in use. The best tool you can use for something like this would be rom toolbox pro. It's multiple system tools in one and it works great. I'm currently on Omega V10 with perseus kernel. Also I don't connect to wifi much and network here is weak and on 2G but even though I still get this battery life. In areas with good signal I get more battery life. Also I've dropped my phone twice with impact points on the corner, and just minor scuffs but that didn't effect the phones performance or battery life so I doubt it has affected yours.

Also I've overclocked, my processor to 1.8ghz and undervolted between - 50 and -100. So i get minimal power wastage from heat build up. Also you can set a black wall paper with a dark theme.

Unfortunately, I am not rooted, and haven't planned on doing so ever. Is there anything else I can do to fix my problem? I did download batterystats, and am waiting a few days though to see what it tells me.
Also, I used a different charger just to see what would happen today, and even though its been off the charger for 2 hours, it's already down to 94 percent. So I am thinking that there is either something wrong with the battery, the charging port, or could there be a bug in the phone's software?
I am thinking of getting a new battery, and seeing if that fixes my problem. I'm just so irritated because battery life used to be amazing, and I don't know what happened.
Maybe try a factory reset. Maybe something else has been using your battery.

That's what I was thinking. I will probably do that and report back, before going out and buying a battery or something. Is it possible that, although not reported in the battery info, that an app could be rogue or something or taking up battery? I don't want to do a factory reset and redownload a bad app.
Update: I tried a factory reset. It seems to either be worse or just the same. It's been an hour and has dropped to 97 percent, but I have made a couple of phone calls. But compared to before I did a factory reset, it dropped to 96 percent in two hours while not doing anything.
Keep your phone on charging over night.
Then let it drain to zero no matter what.
Do this 3 to 4 times and then
Leave it for charging overnight.
Then while it is already charging use battery calibration.

Quick Update:
I did another factory reset after I said the initial one didn't help. It looks like it may have helped, although I still have not gotten the battery life I used to have.
I found an application here called betterybatterystats, and have downloaded that. I will use my phone throughout today, and will post sceenshots.
If need be, I will take your advice about charging and draining and charging, and then do the battery calibration.
Here are my most reset battery stats. Screenshots are from the battery setting area, and betterbatterystats
Maybe I am just being paranoid and nothing is wrong? I can't make any sense out of these readings, but I hope someone else can.
first of all change you cable if you are having that kind of issues. Mine in my galaxy ace was having that problem, it was like connect/disconnect without any reason and it didnt charged my phone at all. I noticed it when it was too late, the continous on/off kill my battery. When I say kill i mean it just lasts 15 min in 3g with screen on and it happened to me in 2 official batteries.
good luck!

I've had my Galaxy W for just over a year. Whilst I was running the stock ROM I would more or less get a full day out of the battery. I upgraded rooted my device and installed the Cyanogen CM9 rc2 ROM. I don't recall any battery problems at first, but just over a week ago it started draining within five or six hours. This happened every day for a week.
Since then I have uninstaleld all apps (apart from Google Authenticator which I couldn't manage without), turned off wifi, bluetooth and everything else I could think of. Now I seem to be getting about 36 hours out of the battery... Although I think it goes from 35% down to 10% very, very quickly.
Leaving all data connections off and having no apps is okay in the short term, but is there a long term software solution?

Before I uninstalled any apps I downloaded and installed CPU Spy. Here are two screenshots taken with CPU spy.
I could reinstall it now without any other apps installed, if that will help?
I don't know enough about this, but I expected that the phone would spend a higher percentage of it's time in 'deep sleep' than that.

Interesting.. how about you check on the battery is it bloating or not?
For battery problem is either the phone calibrated wrong readings on the battery or the battery it self is the problem.
If you use your phone not too often but the deep sleep only reach 34% of the time then some apps is preventing the deep sleep, try to check what apps is that causes that with some battery stats app, try search it in xda or market

I've gone for Battery Stats Plus. I'll reenable wifi, bluetooth and 3G for a few days and see what happens. If that takes a toll on the battery I will post back with details from Battery Stats Plus.
I will also take the battery out later to inspect it.
Update:
My battery had 15-20% remaining and I turned it off, and tried to turn it back on. It now thinks that it does not have enough power to boot the phone. I don't know if that new information is helpful or not.

With 15 - 20% it should have boot, because it still have juice left. What about your battery physics? Is it bloating or just normal?

Took the battery out this morning for a proper look. There's definitely some bloating. Time to get looking for a replacement battery?
Could there be two issues here? As from the screenshots I posted the phone doesn't seem to have spent a lot of time in deep sleep.
I was just watching a YouTube video, with about 70% battery. The phone turned off, and when I've turned it back on it's gone down to 2%.
Could this be down to an improperly calibrated battery, or is it purely down to the physical damage/bloating to the battery?

most probably you suffer wrong calibrated battery problem , I think
sorry I didnt see your first post (about bloating) :/ , definetely you should buy a new battery
Thanks for your advice.
I'm going to install Battery Calibration by Nema from Google Play. I'll see how I get on with that.
I'm going to order a replacement battery this week. I'm looking for a direct replacement, with an official Samsung battery. I have posted here in the Accessories forum. I hope that was the right place to put it.
After I install the CM10 alpha 6 conform to the first post, the battery life of my cellphone has been drained very fast - 21% about 6 hours and half.
Can anyone help me, please? I already did the battery calibration and I can't see effects. I'm wondering if is better install CM 9 or just go back to the android 2.3.6 factory version of my cellphone.

Your battery is bloated? Then you *must* replace it. Period.
A damaged battery is the root cause of myriads of problems. Until that battery is replaced, you _will_ experience all kinds of annoyances, no matter what ROM/Kernel you're using, including inexplicable battery drain.

For about the past week, I have had horrible battery life and have been trying to figure out ways to make it last. What is the best battery saver app?
Also - I was out the other day, went for a run @ the park and had I<3radio on while I was running, and when I finished I went to take a picture. At that point in time I was at 56% battery (I was around 65-70% when I started). My phone locked up, and I had to reset it, once it got through the boot screen I was at 4% battery, and the phone shut off within a few minutes with nothing running. This happened a few weeks ago as well, while the phone was charging with GPS on. I turned off GPS when I got to my location, and the phone was @ 55-60% battery. Within 15 minutes the phone was dead, even after killing all of the apps that were running. Any ideas?
My phone does the same thing, and I believe it to be a hardware issue. Randomly locks up with the screen off. It also gets quite warm just above the battery and below the camera. It's ROM independent and completely random.
Your battery might be bad if this started happening recently though. If the phone is under a year old, Sprint might replace the battery for you. If not, there are plenty of replacement batteries out there that are better than the OEM one.
Time for a new battery. Don't monkey around with apps and settings or different roms, just get a fresh battery and the mystery will be over.

Yup. Signs you need to get a new battery. I got anker batteries from Amazon. Good price and comes with a charger.

I think I might do that. I have had the phone since it came out. I am just kind of waiting for an upgrade in August. I am sure that by the time I look at the GS3 or Note 2 there will be something else out.

Battery saver app = DS Battery Saver, available on play store and here on xda
As for the huge drop in % thats a known issue on all Samsung kernels ics and jb, do the spin test for battery to see if its bad, but the drop means absolutely nothing, it will do the same with a brand new battery any time you reboot with ~ 50% battery:beer:
