My phone has TERRIBLE battery life. It lasts about 2 hours usually and sometimes 2 and a half. I'm running the stock GB from that came with the phone, but I am rooted. I have tried every single from out there..none of them give me sufficient battery life. By the time i get home from school by battery is down to 30%. What could be causing this? I'm also on my third warranty replacement phone and my second battery.

Normally I would suggest going to stock for people but in your case, maybe custom is the answer.
Do you have loads of apps and accounts setup by the way?

This is my second battery (both sucked) and my third phone. And my 2nd charger...

This really has no useful information to be helped. 2 hours? On stand by, screen on time, any cpu tuners, etc?
Maybe take screenshots of what the battery chart looks like and what apps have the highest percentage.
It is about 2 and a half hours of screen on time. And I can't get a screenshot of it because I just flashed a new rom, and my battery hasn't had a chance to settle in with the new rom yet. If it doesn't improve I will post a pic of my battery stats. Thanks.

Well, I'm guessing there is an app that keeps running constantly. You should try an ICS ROM, that might help.

Same problem
I've been experiencing identical issues with my T989. I've had terrible battery life without many apps running in the background (as I use the stock task manager to execute all running apps). I've finally decided to root my device and install a 'set cpu speed' app. Even though I've set my minimum cpu speed to 200 MHz and max to 800 MHz it's still lasts for a maximum of 4 hours until I get the "Battery is critically low" message.
Does samsung provide warranty for their batteries? Because I've called to complain about battery life and they asked me to remove the battery and send the device itself so they could repair it. And under no circumstances would they offer me an exchange for the battery, maybe I just caught a bad rep?
I love this phone and all it's features and prefer this over the iPhone but I feel like i'm being forced to just purchase the iPhone 4s.

I was on Blazer GB a long time ago getting great battery life.[1 day]
After flashing all Cyanogen Mod builds for ICS and JB then to Paranoid Android. I have been getting bad battery.
I'm not blaming CM or PA .
Is anyone else getting bad battery life too?
I just flashed a nightly build for CM (12/25 to be exact). Its as bad as the rest after GB.

Is your battery swollen? Take it out and spin it on a table on both sides. If it spins like a top its bad.

I used ICS from August to December. The eye candy was nice, and the speed was enjoyable. It felt good to run the latest and greatest.
But the battery life was killing me. I have two batteries, a generic Chinese battery and a bloated OEM battery.
I would go 8 hours a day without even touching my phone, and the battery would be at 20 percent, or even dead. With the bloated battery , max was 3 hours.
I had to go back to gingerbread. Installed calkulins on December 3rd, and Juice defender.
Now I get 10+ hours with my Chinese battery, and 8+ hours with the bloated battery.

Good point! You should definitely take a look to see if the battery is swollen, it is an indicator that the cells are imploding which results in terrible battery life.
I've been hearing a lot of people having problems with their phone turning off right after the boot animation. After the boot animation, the screen flickers and the phone turns off. You will have to plug your phone in to your charger and then turn it back on for your phone to boot up. This is due to your battery going bad. Take it to the nearest Sprint store and they will replace it for free if you have insurance.
Battery is swollen 2 out of 4. 3 are ebay cheap OEM generic LOOKING, but 1 works. Then I have the Sprint offered extended battery works fine.
It has to be that. Some ROMS are killing battery quick too. I use KMS app to kill media server temporarily then it goes back on after a while maybe after 2 hours. But after I've underclocked 200/800 Pegasusq, noop i/o, I've had better life. Not excellent.

Leaked stock TW FL16 doubled my battery life from snipers latest PA 2.5.6. Main difference? Less time "awake" in battery stats. I switched back to stock ICS under same conditions (apps, gps, Wi-Fi on even when not connected) and the leaked stock TW FL 16 was still better. "Android OS" and "Android system" dropped to 4th and 5th on battery consumption percentages. Can't freakin wait till the AWESOME developers that support this device get source code. Then we'll see good battery life again. Maybe not GB good, but better than lately.

From what I've used aosp ROMs tends to have pretty bad battery life in comparison to stock tw ROMs. My question is why and how it can be addressed? Now I've used a multitude of aosp ROMs including cm10.1, aokp, and root box just to name a few (all 4.2.2) and my battery life is pretty bad. I won't post any screenshots because it varies but take my word for it, took it off charger by 10am by 2pm (2 hours of screen on time later) it was already at 30% (this was underclocked to 1.2ghz mind you) I think my only option is the nexus 4 at this point as it has stock android and I've heard it is having fantastic battery life on 4.2.2. We'll see, anyone have input on this?

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've tried underclocking, undervolting, brightness adjustments, battery saving apps, etc. Different kernels too (lean, kt, bms, stock, etc) with different governors and io schedulers. I'm so fed up at this point. I want to use my phone without worrying about if I'll have enough battery left. I refuse to use touchwiz.

You might have a bad battery. If you don't mind the bulk or weight, I would recommend getting the Zerolemon 7,000 mAh extended battery. Then you could go a couple of days without charging your phone.
If you do want to keep the slim and sleek look of the S3, Zerolemon also sells 2300 mAh batteries (which are 2400 mAh) for $20 for two of them on amazon.

Yeah I'll definitely look into some extended batteries. Wouldn't be a bad idea, I was just thinking of ditching this for a nexus 4 tbh. Just don't want to lose this awesome S3 community though

on AOSP roms, 4 hours in I'm at 60%
so something is def wrong with AOSP roms when it comes to battery
it sucks cause I REALLY wanna use Liquid smooth or CM, I loved them both but the battery was killing me, forced me to go back to TW

Ktoonz with a matching nightly.
Battery life actually varies per device an usage. I use some on my S3 an rarely touch it, the battery will last practically all day long. Also if you run a high over clock that will destroy battery life, along with too many apps running at the same time too. A simple underclock with a good governor can extend battery life too. Staying on wifi helps too. There's many ways to get good battery life for you device. As Faux123 said "every device is different". Even though we all have the same phones, some act differently.

Pretty much nothing you can do, other than maybe turning off sync and using airplane mode at night. Also, the latest nightlies after rc2 seem to have improved battery life, though it's still not impressive by any means...

I feel the same...I hate touchwiz so I'm forced to use CM10.1, which had been giving bad battery life ever since the 3.4 kernel update back in march.
I disabled all sync for all my accounts, use greenify, always keep screen brightness at lowest, only turn on WiFi or data when I need to use it, and did a clean wipe, yet the battery still drains faster than a bloated touchwiz ROM.

I do - I undervolt it to 800mhz using the profiles function in SetCPU and have already undervolted the 800mhz range and below by between -25 and -50.
I know it uses hsdpa, gps etc so it is battery hungry - if you struggle on power look at getting one of those power packs (10000ma)
That would keep ya going all day haha

I've got to say, battery life is pretty bad with this phone. I bought it brand new yesterday so not sure if it needs to condition itself or not but I came from a LG G2 which has a 3000mah battery, which is slightly smaller than this but battery life was far better. Granted the screen was slightly smaller but still. Is there any Roms that improve battery life but still relatively stock?

I have a custom ROM with GPS, NFC and all the air gesture **** off with the screen at like 35% brightness and I get no where near that.

I'm just using the stock ROM, rooted with the Kingo Root app. Installed TWRP and then Faux Kernel (hltetmo-faux123-003u)
Be warned, TWRP did trip the Knox counter to 0x1. I had to install Knox Disabler so it would stop complaining.
I was getting about 24 hours per charge, until remembered about the FauxClock app and enabled the Intelliplug driver and Intellithermal manager. About this time, I also installed Advanced Task Killer after going without it for a few years.
Screen brightness is on auto, WiFi and mobile data are both on constantly. I have not had to make many calls though, so I'm not sure how this may affect battery life...
So far, I haven't noticed any decrease in performance. Right now I've been on battery for 30 hours and I have 45% left.

Because of adjustments... Custom ROM and kernel, Screen is at 35%, gps and all location services off, NFC off, all the phones extras like air gestures multi window etc are off, I use greenify to freeze apps and I have most Google syncs off and I'm only able to achieve this. I know a lady who knows nothing about phones and has everything/feature on the phone turned on with full brightness and gets 15.5 off charge with 5.5 screen on time by the time she's at 30%. I don't get it.
Edit- I should note I made this post while stock. Because I heard phenomenal things about this phones battery and was quite disappointed.

Because of adjustments... Custom ROM and kernel, Screen is at 35%, gps and all location services off, NFC off, all the phones extras like air gestures multi window etc are off, I use greenify to freeze apps and I have most Google syncs off and I'm only able to achieve this. I know a lady who knows nothing about phones and has everything/feature on the phone turned on with full brightness and gets 15.5 off charge with 5.5 screen on time by the time she's at 30%. I don't get it.

Signal strength and the binning of your CPU could be differentiating factor. Reading into other people's experience too much can lead to disappointment.
