[Q] Is My Battery Normal?

Hi guys.
First I need to say that my phone is new. (1 week)
My battery drops so fast when i using it. When I dont its quite good actually. Today i flashed my phone and right now Im using Darkside ICS beta5.
My battery drops %5 in 11-12 minutes while I use 3G Internet browsing. Both of stock and darkside are quite same while doing this.
I lost %18 in 96 minutes. Screen on for 52 minutes. Web 15 minutes via 3G. Phone call 15 minutes.
My screen brigtness is at %20-25 scala.
My question is that "are my values normal?"

Man that seems a bit quick. You might want to look into calibrating the battery and if nothing else, ask t-mo to send you a new one.

There is nothing wrong with your battery. You still lasted 11 hours.
Be happy with that at least.
And there must bE A pRoBlEm wItH YoUr KeYbOaRd As WeLL.

You got over 11 hours with nearly 4 hours screen time, playing games and YouTube as well. Sounds like great battery life to me.

I don't know how good can the battery life be.. But i am getting 3-4 hours screen time from each charge and around 9-11 hours stand by time which last me for a day..
Wifi/data on all day.
And i consider this is good enough for me at least.

Horrible Battery Life?

JB has been known to have very bad battery life. If your not rooted, it's hard to help you from here. Maybe try some of the battery saver apps?

Go to settings , backup and reset, turn off collect Diagnostics. Also keep wifi and gps off when not in use.

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 )
Also, I highly recommend checking out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969741

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.

Its a possibility I would definatly try before your out of your return period even on stock your battery life should be at least 4hrs on time with 12-14 hrs standby I've had 2 sg3's one international and one u.s. and both had triple almost better than that buddy

Battery draining fast

My T-Mobile note 2 battery is draining extremely fast its NOT rooted. So I don't understand why isn't draining so fast someone please help. And if anyone is having this same problem how did you fix it without getting a replacement device.

See if anything in the Better Battery Stats thread will help you.

That will at least allow you to see what's doing it.

I will thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Check the battery stats for "gpsd". Mine started draining after updating to 4.1.2. It appears (for me at least) that the Samsung "find-your-phone-if someone-steels-it" was behaving badly.
If this is the case for you. Switch the service/function of and notify Samsung.

How many hours do you get when your battery is draining fast?

My stock phone started to drain fast as well. Within 6 hours unplugged I see myself having only 60 percent remaining with barely an hour screen on time. I tried to narrow it down to a rogue app but it seems the OTA was more plausable and easier to blame lol
Now back to using Jedi again.

It's called DIVE and does more than just recover lost phones, it is a management suite, not that I've spent a lot of time on it so far.

My phone isn't rooted. And Im new too this so I'm a little bit lost on what to do. Before that T-Mobile update I would get 24hrs+ but I'm lucky enough too get 8hrs and that's without heavy use

That's not it ever since this multiwindow update battery life has diminished. I can't figure it out. Like right now all I did is a little bit of fb twitter Tapatalk gps music and thats it and its at 38% unplugged since 6 hrs and on screen time is 2 hrs.

Yea multi view does seem to contribute to see extra drain. But as I see it my phone lasts all day no matter what I do to it. I've never EVER had to say...dang where's my charger. Not with this phone. It's perfect for me . I use it HEAVILY

Killed a lot of apps with TI and it has really just been awesome

Yeah, I'm about to hit éight hours of screen on time, pretty damn good for a stock unrooted phone.

According to my usage scheme, I had to replace battery twice with s3, and once with Note 2, but this thing can leave even more than 10%!
It even can last five days if you leave it idle 24/7.

If you're rooted, try disabling DVFS through Wanam. It substantially increased my battery life.
