The android system % is really high. For reference the screen time is at 2h 58min in that shot.
The post I saw about it mentioned a patch that fixed that in some phones? Just curious if there is something I can do to fix it and improve the battery life further.
This is on jedi xp9 with saber kernel.
What were you doing with the phone in that one hour? If nothing serious you have a battery leak problem. 31% for one hour is just not right. I used to install a calendar widget that causes leak like crazy, even after I un installed it. Had to do a hard reset to fix it.
1hr? The battery was at 1d 11h and some change, but yeah I am prolly going to do a clean install. I'm thinking maybe my titanium backup is goofed up.
Just wasn't sure if there was a system patch that was for that, I thought I had read that somewhere.
Its just the only thing using battery. That's good. Youre getting phenomenal battery life. Trust me. When I posted my last message I didn't see a pic of your time stamp. Do math on total CPU usage of the android system. Also Google backup transport uses a good chunk. Disable that if you don't want it. (When flashing a new rom Google transports your old backup onto your device)
Anyhow here you go. Do the math and see how much battery life to CPU usage I would get verse what you got. If you are never using your phone the is and or system will eventually kill it. Using a larger percentage. It looks like you aren't even using your phone. 36 hours of battery is insane. Also note my screen was on just a little over 3 hours. (At minimal brightness always)

Sorry my bad. But it still doesn't look right to me that your system is burning more battery than the screen.
It seems like your phone was idle for the most part of that battery time. If so, then it's normal to show more android system usage percentage than other things, since there are background processes running. If that's the case, your battery drain is good, especially if you're 4g was on the entire time.

Yeah I never turn the 4g off. Guess I was just miss understanding the post.
Yes the phone was idle a lot, normally is on my days off. During my work week im looking at 18-20 hours getting me to 60-40% and me charging it it before bed. Being in reinforced concrete buildings 2 stories underground causing me to the have a poor signal I figured that was pretty decent.
Anyway thank you guys for the information.

Just got my s3 like a week or so. I made a mistake and not charge it initially (thought it was a myth). I used my battery all the way to 17%. Now my battery only average up to 2 hours screen on. My sister who also got the phone as the same time has about right hour screen on time. Did I screw up or it's just my battery being defective
EDIT: attached is the battery stats

What's brightness set to, and what are you doing while the screen is on? You on WiFi most of the time?

Well, when I'm in door, I use low brightness most of the time. Only when I'm outside I would use auto brightness. Since I'm in wifi zone most of the time, yes I do have wifi on. I mostly use my phone for twitter, web browsing, and youtube, nothing heavy like gaming or benchmark.
Hard to say if its defective but I've definitely seen a lot better battery. It might not hurt to try and get a new one.

you should calibrate your battery a couple times once you get the phone. do it a couple times and it will fix itself. also check all your syncing settings. this phone will deplete a battery in 5-6 hours if fully charged and phone brightness is up all the way while watching videos.
Calibrating batteries is a myth from the days of older battery technology. Draining your battery to 0 on purpose is actually killing your battery faster because you just used up one cycle.

There's a bug on stock that makes cell standby much higher than it really is. So I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Also, Google Chrome is a huge battery killer for some reason. Consider switching to a different browser?
Still having the original battery in my vibrant and getting 8-9 hour charges while killing the battery 100% and charging it up once a week does nothing? Same thing for my g2x. I get about 10-11 hours on the thing daily original battery as well. If anything and you're not rooted to delete battery stats, its a good thing to do a couple times. I don't think I have hurt the battery at all, and if anything they still last very long...

Hey All,
As per the N00B video, I'll try to keep this short.
So today was my first full day with the SGS3 (ATT). The battery life is ABYSMAL. I had it in airplane mode for about 8 hours (for reasons not important to the thread) and light usage (Facebook/internet) for 20 min. With another hour or so with all radios on and no usage. Add all that up, and I went from 100% to 1%. Unlike most others, my biggest usage was Android System....Not screen. I am un-rooted. I've downloaded no different apps then with my previous Android (OG ATRIX). I had/have Lightflow on both. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause this.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I downloaded BetterBattery, and will have it running after I charge up my phone.
And if this is discussed elsewhere, my bad. Maybe point me in the right direction?
Okay, it is my opinion, only having had my 474 for a little over a month that you have a rouge app.... delete lighrflow. After that, see how it goes.
I have been using the stock rom for the entire time (rooted the day i got it) and have tried 2 roms. Ive tried juiced defender and that didn't
really yield great results. I'm not considering using the stock ROM with kootz or whatever it's called kernel. Ive read that that combo
yields better results with regards to battery life.
I'll post in the next few days. Need to run it for thru 3 charges to see results.
Anyone else care to chime in??
I've run Ultimatum 1.3 and Kylan.... admittingly, not long enough to see if battery life improved....

Use BetterBatteryStats and try to track down any wakelocks that are happening

As others mentioned, do the better battery stats and un install light flow. I believe that the developer acknowledged the battery drain for the S III.

Could be the gsiff-daemon bug. Try turning on Power Save and see if it helps. I normally get 15-17 hours per charge. That's with everything synching every 15 minutes, chrome browsing, Facebook checking, game playing, app downloading, and general reading.

Last night I went to bed at like 60% battery. I woke up today and my phone is completely dead. I slept for 5-6 hours and its hard to believe that my phone dead. I have NO idea how is this possible?
Here is a SS of my battery. I'm running AOKP(Jellybean 4.1.2)Task & Ktoonsez

You probably got a lot of calls/texts cuz ur screen probably turned on because of the fact its a whopping 49 percent
But the stats are only accounting for 51 minutes of up time, 49% screen usage at that uptime is not difficult to do.
What Rom are you running? Kernel? Did you recently download/install any new apps or games?
Generally this issue is caused by two things, 1) android system going beserk 2) a rogue app keep the phone from going into deep sleep.
Best thing to do is to fully charge it and then let it sit idle for a hour or two and then see what your stats report. Better battery stats is great for pin pointing causes for battery drain.
In the past, I have had a few games cause excessive battery drain as well as android system. The first was easy to remedy, install and reinstall worked 90% of the time while the other 10% required me to completely abandon said app.
Android system is a little trickier, always had to re flash the Rom to fix that, but thanks to data backup nandroid, that only takes a few minutes to backup data, flash Rom and then restore data... leaving me with my phone in the exact state that it was in before, , sans the battery drain.
Good luck bud

Well last night I did a serious wipe on my phone. I reinstalled my rom and then went to sleep. better battery stats for free? or is it the app that cost $2.89. I don't mind paying $3 bucks for an app to help me figure out whats wrong with my phone.
Make sure it is going to deep sleep. Change governors sometimes ktnoozconservacts weird so just click o load to defaults reboot and that shohld fix theproblem
Download BBS. It's free here on xda for members.... Just do a search. Downloaded any apps lately??
Hi,
So my phone battery was pretty off today and I checked my battery usage. This is the result.
Any ideas? It doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary on running apps...

are you running stock?
are you rooted?
If you have recently flashed a new ROM, its common for the battery % to get thrown off. There are battery calibration apps on the market to fix it.
If you are running stock, then charge it for a full 8 hours minimum. Run it all the way dead, til it turns off. Then charge it a full 8 hours again.

Negative ghostrider. The battery calibration apps are 100℅ snake oil. They do nothing that unplugging the phone after a charge does not do. Also, wiping battery starts after flashing a rom is pointless since it not only has nothing at all to do with indication, but that is also a clean slate when flashed. The old advice to do this was based upon folds not understanding how both the operating system and the battery's fuel gauge operate.
Also, I wouldn't advise doing the second one too often as it shortens the life of the battery. Discharge to the point of shutdown is unhealthy for it and full charge/discharge cycles shorten its serviceable lifespan.
OP- It would seem that your phone is awake significantly more than it should be if you weren't using it all that much. Google Services should account for less battery use than it is, and idle should account for more. A screenshot of battery use with more details would prover to be very useful. Also, you can use the app BetterBatteryStats to get some insight as to what may or may not be misbehaving.

I've flashed CM 10.1, using the 28th of December nightly.
Hoping it was just the nightly that caused it, but it's gotten worse throughout the day.

My best guess is that it may be location services draining your battery.

Just disabled it in maps. Is it possible that it turned itself on somehow? I haven't had this problem until today.
Also, would there be a reason why the stock messaging app font size is almost double the size? I ended up installing the 'alex' font to make it a bit smaller, but it's still big in comparison to what it used to be.
Time to replace a battery, or is something wrong here?

Using android is like changing a new phone every month!
Better check you apps behaviour and syncs with BetterBatteryStatts and cpu spy for deep sleep. No way a battery drains that fast normaly.
Interesting thing is, I just did a full wipe/factory restore, couldn't be an issue with my apps, could it? Gonna go log my battery in the mean while

Could it be due to this process "audioOut_2"?
Dont have vibes installed though, yet somehow this is preventing phone from sleeping.
Will try with second handset to see if this is an issue with rebooting phone on silent mode

how many screen time? have you put you phone in a hot zone? have yoy been playing while charging for a long time? i say it because it is known that some samsung batteries inflate themselves and decrease the battery life to like about 15 minutes so look if the battery is normal or a bit rounded (fat battery)
hope it helped,

Hot zone meaning? I haven't been abusing my phone, but when I play some games/surf the Web, the battery seems to die at almost twice the speed it did before.
If buying a new battery would solve this issue, then I would buy without hesitation! I'm just scared that the battery condition is not the main issue with this drain.
Currently doing a full drain/charge to recalibrate the battery

by hot zone I mean let the phone in the sun or somewhere when the temperature is high. I recommend you to check your battery physically, I mean open the back of the phone and see if the battery is in the same condition as when you received it. As I said before the main problem could be that your battery have been inflated if is this you must replace it not only because the bad performance but also because it is really dangerous(there are acids in there and if it explote..)
However it seems more like a continous draining try calibrating as you said with battery calibration or similars. If the battery starts to decrease its life (i mean today lasts 5h., tomorrow 3h.) it is almost sure what i said about the battery.
hope i helped you somehow
