How about screenshots without the volume indicator? You can also try GSam Battery Monitor from the Play Store, to get a little more information on what is eating the battery.

Did you install any app after or before update? Main reason for all drain is from app.

What's your screen on time.

Looked kinda like liteflow might be causing problems?
Cell Standby i think is the one that is coded wrong and is lying, ignore that one.
If you press Android System in settings, battery it will show you the top components being used
Also in dev options look for and check Show CPU Usage. It will show whats using the cpu in the top right of your screen. Watch for what stays in the top few spots in the list.
There may have been something that didnt like the update. Try first uninstalling apps and if that helps reinstall them clean, no data restore. If you continue to have problems backup all data and factory reset. Start clean.
If all else fails use odin to flash the full LH2 fw.
LH2 should be a fairly stable build. Most have no issues and many get outstanding battery life. Im willing to bet its either an app or the way you updated or both.

That's really not THAT bad for a screen on time. I saw your screenshots in the OP, and you were down to 80% in only two hours of being on the battery, but you had the screen on for almost an hour of those two hours; 20%/hr for the first few hours is pretty normal. It's not stellar, but I wouldn't say it's an epic drain that being said, I'm sure you could squeeze some more juice out of it, and prob is just an app causing more drain than usual.
Also when doing a screenshot, it helps to hit the power button first, then the volume, so you don't get the volume pop up every time.

3:30 screen on time it's good no matter how you use your phone. I got 2.45 hours on screen with 1day and 6 hours. I've had issues with liteflow and battery as well. Others say they don't, it seems to depend on how you set the phone and liteflow to work.

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?

Just wanted to share my battery stats

So I just upgraded to the gs3 from the old ass Evo 4g. The Evo had maybe about 8 hours of battery life. My gs3 rooted with the peoples ROM got 1 day and a few hours! So excited and loving it.
A few side notes:
- I had my screen brightness on the lowest setting all day.
- was on wifi almost all day.
- downloaded a little bit from the market and played about 20 minutes worth of games.

TPR is an awesome rom! Now, other things to help.. Turn of notifications for like FB and things.. Email sync to longer durations between (will always sync when you open app) turn off Talk (Google Talk) It's an auto sign in program, So it'll be running in the background. Just a few things like that will help make it go even longer.

No actually. I surf the web...go on the xda app a lot. Text pretty much all day, listen to music and watch some YouTube videos. So I would call it moderate usage.

Stock rom and stock kernel. Debloated a little and a theme. I have both Gmail and Yahoo mail apps syncing with brightness on auto. I don't think I can ask for anything more out of a rom. This setup has bested any custom rom I've tried.

Ah I see where I goofed now. Gsiff and qosmgr are .bak'd. I had spent so much time setting the parameters in Ktweaker, then flashed back to Wicked about a week ago and forgotten to reflash ktoons! :laugh: I still can't help feeling something is a miss here though.
Moderate usage

This is mine, I deleted my other pics by mistake but I average 6 hours + screen time on 3g and over 7hours on WiFi. All stock. Gmail syncing, contacts, calendars, face book. Talk off, Google wallet disabled, drop box on auto upload for pictures.
This is with 30 minutes of screen on time and 17 minutes talk time. Not bad for just a 11% drop.

I have a question. Do you guys think there are some s3s that have just bad power management? I got mine off eBay 2 months ago and my battery life has been trash. Well comared to the rest. I don't have screens but what I average is 2 hours 30 minutes screen on time an day only get 12 hours max with data off practically the entire time. I have 3 batteries and they all average the same. What I do mostly is text, check xda, and listen to music with poweramp. Nothing crazy. With data off I don't sync during the day much. It's pissing me off because I know the battery life is good on this phone and I hair happen to get one that sucks

[Q] Battery life? WTF? 10% an hour doing NOTHING ?

I lose 10% an hour (sometimes more) doing absolutely nothing with my phone. I check battery stats and like 98% is screen.
Question: how can that be possible if the screen isn't even on ?
I have tried everything. I'm running CM10 stable (which is supposed to be good for battery life)
10% an hour? This is a joke right? I have like no apps running. I even tried using apps that put the phone into DEEPSLEEP as soon as the phone/screen shuts off -- meaning every app is closed.
Nothing.
Any ideas? please help i love this phone but im going through 2 batteries a day and im not even using the phone that much.

Huge Battery Drain Issues

I've had battery issues ever since I bought my Note 2. I tried buying a new battery, custom ROM (ARHD 13.0), custom kernel (RedPill). I get a drain of 2% per hour in standby, and 17.2 percent (!) per hour in normal usage, not even heavy gaming. The screenshots are for continuous usage. I got rid of wakelocks, the AudioOut2 one by Viber, the NetworkStatusMonitor through maps. (these were 80% of all partial wakelocks)
I usually have sync enabled, 4 email accounts for once in four hours, and Facebook, and Samsung backup. That's it. I'm on an EDGE network, with network set to GSM only, WiFi only on when required.
I have ~83% Deep Sleep when I don't touch the phone overnight.
All motions/smart *s are disabled.
I don't know what else to do. My wakelocks show completely normal values. (I'll upload some when I get to unused time)

Almost 90% sleep. But still draining 10% in 10 hours of no use.
Could someone help me debug this drain?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

If you are complaining about 10% drain over 10 hours (1% drain an hour) then you are very mistaken about how a mobile phone works.
There's nothing wrong here I can see.

I've seen people report less than 3% drain overnight. And 2-3% per hour of use. 17% an hour? Too much.
Edit: I know cell phones consume battery because they're wirelessly connected to and monitoring networks and that they need battery to receive and process packets of data and other stuff while not being used, if that's what you mean.

Is your wifi power save mode on or off?

!!
I have the same excact problem. Just bought it and the battery drains so faaaaaaaaast !!!...

The screenshots in my first and second posts are with WiFi on, connected but never searching. In the third post, WiFi was off the whole time.
Edit: Power saving was off both times. There's a noticeable FPS drop with power saving that I hate.

Please get Better Battery Stats, and post your screenshots over at least an hour of no use, and 30 minutes of use. I might be able to help. (I'll try, anyway).

Are you on an AOSP/AOKP/CM based ROM? I understand that battery will be significantly better on those than a Sammy based ROM because of Sammy bloatware, but I'm unwilling to lose all the perks. Although the figures I said people have are all for people on either stock with custom kernel, ARHD, or ARHD with a custom kernel.
Edit: I also took care to take these figures from this forum from people who had a few syncs/online services enabled.
