Is anyone else experiencing a higher data usage than they previously had?
On my Desire HD I was on Unlimited data and I used about 450mb a month. I had pretty much all syncing enabled.
On my gnex I only have Google syncing and I appear to have used 120mb already in 4 days...
I might have to cancel my contract and buy outright on giffgaff..

Have you not checked what's using the data, using the new data monitor in ICS? I had Google Books download 40mb without knowing!

Dont know if its just me but the data usage app is buggy. Still says 211kb for browser after 4 days so i wouldnt trust it.
Ymmm market backup? New phone everything is restoring?

Of course you get much higher usage the first weeks with a new phone. Just as you get "worse" battery time.
This is because all sane XDA enthusiasts uses a new phone much more than the old one the first weeks or so...

That is true, Hmm I ll have mine in a couple of days Ill look at this but for me I have unlimited data plan so doesn't matter really
The data usage app is a bit buggy, as is the battery one.
I set my phone up on Wifi etc. In the data usage for the my Wifi it shows as 900mb..
So effectively i've used almost 1GB in total over 4-5 days. I've only used the phone on data the same as I would use any other phone so I cannot understand why its so high.
It all seems to be random background stuff that isn't open in multitasking :s Think I might return it and buy outright with GiffGaff...
Hi folks,
I have had my rogers S3 for several days now. while i love it very much but one issue frustrates me. I get only about 6-7 hours for one charge on a maybe a little bit more than moderate use.
I read somewhere there was an error in one of the system config files but that article was talking about the international version. do any of you experience the same?
My GS3 battery life is going against all the reviews. help.
I had the same problem, I did a factory reset and it seems to be considerably better now.
not sure why the phone kept going into deep discharge, but it hasn't done it since and it's been a week or so now.. is your phone also warm near the USB connector?
The error in the config file was just in regards to the reporting of usage.. Cell Standby usage was being over-reported.. I am not seeing that as being the case on my Rogers SGS3..
One thing I did do is nuke all the rogers installed apps.. I got sick of the VVM+ whining constantly about not being able to work over WiFi.. I just used Titanium Backup to freeze all of the rogers apps.. (rather than uninstalling them).. battery life is quite good actually.. very surprised.

thank you for the info. how is a factory reset done? does that mean i would lose everything i downloaded already? i will give the Titanium Backup a try to get rid of the rogers apps too to see if it helps. yeah, the phone gets pretty warm after a short while.
Are you on LTE, My battery gets about the same with LTE always on since it does consume a lot of power

Well.. this may not be a fix but it really worked forr me. Battery time was at least trippeled.
I drained my battery until the phone shut down, then I connected the charger WITHOUT turning on the phone (allright I KNOW it sounds stupid). Noticed the time to charge it fully increased from 1.5-2 hours to 4-5 hours.
I had to charge the phone during the day before, now it last for 2 days at least.
The cell standby is still wrong but that is just a indication fault, this was a real problem for me.
it's the rogers apps!!!
FYI - disable the rogers apps (all of them) and your battery life will DRASTICALLY increase. I've tested this with them enabled (battery life sucked), and disabled (battery lasted for like 1.5+ days).
Oh and let rogers know their apps suck like I did. The more people that report it the more chance they might actually fix them. A fun way is to do it to their twitter account @rogershelps
If you decide to keep them disabled, be sure to call Rogers and tell them to remove any of the features those apps use...thus reducing you monthly bill.

Forgive my ignorance, I have a VZW GS3. What are Rogers apps? What app names should I look for to see if they're on my phone? Thanks to VZW I cant unlock and root my phone this may not matter.
why don't you return it for a new one?

Rogers is one of the provider here in Canada...similar to AT&T. They each have their own bloatware that they install in their phones.

Hi guys,
How do you remove Rogers app? You have to be root, right?
Thx,
Phil

With root you can either delete them or use titanium backup to freeze them (stop them from running or updating).
I did this (freeze the Rogers apps and most of the samsung ones) and get all day battery life (6am to midnight) with between 4 & 5 hours of screen time.

I've found that battery life is related to cell coverage. If I have 3-5 bars and I'm not using the phone I could lose about a percent of battery per hour and my phone will run at a 40-45 when I do use it. If I only have 1 or 2 bats and it keeps switching between 3g and 4G I could easily lose 6-10 percent an hour and my phone will run at 50 or so degrees celcius. A restart seems to help the phone get a better lock. All this temps were cpu temps.
I just did a wipe/reset and found that this worked for me. I couldn't squeeze out a day with it and now go to bed with 30-40 percent left.
Battery life
My battery life on a debloated stock build was average. I was getting about 16-18hrs on moderate use. I've recently tried CPU Editor battery saver profile and so far its going great. I'll post back on the results after I go through a few charging/discharging cycles.
The forum page for the CPU Editor is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798765
[MOD/SCRIPT]CPU Editor SGS3 Edition - Secret to Die Hard Battery
I'm with rogers and my battery is pretty awful too. Not quite as bad as yours, but still not as good as I'd hope with LTE off.
What kind of usage do you have though ? For example I work with a guy who has the same model and was complaining about battery. I checked his stats and was at 35 percent battery with 4 hours display time. If you're getting 5 to 6 hours screen on time that's enough to kill battery. If its in standby for 6 to 7 hours and battery is dying then something is wrong

I've had very similar issues. Tried several ROMs and had charging problems and finally ended up on cm10 and it took about 3.5 hours to charge from 30% to 85%. Then dropped to 80% after only thirty minutes off the charger. Not sure exactly what to do to fix the issue.

My battery drain is massive on data.
It honestly makes me want to never leave the house
Hey guys,
I have been experiencing bad battery life on the latest 19S ROM, i also experienced same on 18S stock.
When i go to battery and view the stats. i always get ANDROID OS which is taking most of the battery life. This is annoying because it seems that it is reducing my usage time.
I read online that it is an app which is causing the OS to remain awake. I have to manually reset the phone maybe 2 to 3 times daily to prevent heavy battery drain.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue?
I deleted the TypeApp email app and had a big difference in battery, it gave me 5x as many wakelocks as anything else
A also have battery drain. Android OS is on top.. Any fix?

Where did you get the 19s rom from? the Letv website here http://bbs.le.com//zt/eui/le_pro1.html only shows 18s as latest?
Hey folks, I just upgraded my 5T running stock everything to oxygen 5.1.1/Oreo 8.1.0.
Since then my battery life has tanked. WiFi background search is off, GPS off, but what a difference overnight - 20% drain. Incredible!
Kinda sorta regretting the upgrade ATM.
I know there are threads to improve battery life and I've gone through them. I know I'm not the only one with this issue.
What's the possibility that OnePlus does a me aculpa and pushes another update soon?
Any suggestions in the mean time? This phone is way too new to have me considering another one.
Thanks!
Did you have a clean installation?
I am also having bad battery compared to before the update.
Something is draining the battery in the background.

No, I just did the OTA...
Previous phones never had issues after OTA...
Had Nexus 6p, LG v20, LG G6, Samsung S4....
Frustrating because I've only had this 2 months...
Meh, guess I'll have to live with it.
Go into the recovery and delete the cache

Have you looked in the battery settings on what is causing the drain?
I recommend you look into Wakelocks also, there are some good apps to analyze wakelocks and getting to know what is keeping the system going to doze.
