I can't see how this is one of the biggest batteries out yet after a full nights charge and barely using the phone it needs to be charged again by the middle of the day! I'm tempted to put my sim card back in my iphone... If any one has suggestions I'm all ears.
Oh and I've tried to follow steps to root/unlock etc. but I get errors from the rsnlite 5.3.? installer that it can't install.

Dude, there are like three complete threads here with solutions to battery problems. Why did you create another one?
Two of them are in the very same section where you created this thread.
Solution to your battery life woes can be had by putting your sim back inyour iphone. The atrix and instructions to use this forum seem to be above your level of using technology. Btw, my battery life has been awesome.
I voided my warranty.
Dude seriously if you battery sucks its because you dont know how to use the phone properly i get 15-24 hours with heavy texting facebook and browsing you dont need to complain about somthing its your own issue creating another thread is useless post up on the others not here
Holy snot I in no way was bashing the phone but was venting my frustration in how complicated it seems to be to get the battery to last...
I also posted in the general section not QA where I knew I would get bashed.
Im on stock 2.3.4 and it seems like (due to not being able to install the 5.3 lite program) I'm stuck running stock rom and can't make changes needed you guys can.

If you aren't comfortable flashing a new rom and/or freezing system apps, give the "2x battery" app a try. It certainly is an improvement to the stock battery life.
I really want to flash one but the program I need to install on my cpu won't install... I keep getting error msgs and no one has been able to give me a solution why yet.
I used to have an htc fuze and flashed roms almost daily so I have the knowledge but my machine isn't cooperating with the needed download to unlock.
Ill try the 2x battery, thank you for the help.

Could not disagree more. On my stock Atrix, I was getting just over 2 days usage (not just leaving the phone on the table) pretty consistently. Rooted and GB rom now, am getting a day and a half but am probably just getting the battery and rom used to each other lol
I don't get it, I had 80% 2 hours ago then went to 70% powered off and on and now I have 80% again?

Freezing apps would definitely help. Especially is you use "System Panel" to find the culprits.
Although from what I've heard isn't stock supposed to have better battery life than the custom ROMS?...

My battery lasts about 3h max, im living the dream!
@ccrows- It only lets me select the daytime mode due to not having the PRO version. And I dont see in it where I can freeze apps?
It actually seems to be charging faster as well. How long does it take you guys to get a full charge from dead on average?
Hey Guys,
I have been following this thread since a while and finally took the plunge with the S3.
it was a blue s3 and i loved it.
All stock, not rooted nothing..
So i was downloading my games and apps the first day all went well
the second night, i bought NOVA 3, and put it for charge while downloading the 1.7 gb data for the game over wifi.
i woke up in the morning and the phone is dead, it shows a yellow connect it to kies message.
I dont know what happened?
took it to the service center, they tried re-installing the firmware, but no avail. finally told me they have to replace the motherboard it was fried.
I fought with them and managed to get a replacement unit which im gonna get on monday.
The ordeal aside, i want to know, is it possible this happened because i downloaded too many games(6 actually)
each with about 400 mb data.
can a phone get bricked if i download nova 3's data of 1.6 gb
cause i am going to get all my games again.
so help with the solution!!
probably a 1 off defective unit.
You left it charging overnight right, have you considered a power surge may have fried it?
It's better to wake up early in the morning and put it on charge than to leave it overnight.
Sorry about your loss though.

I don't think the game's could do anything wrong to you while downloading.
Btw while playing games on SIII take care as the Phone's temperature reaches the sky and literally i have to close down the game because the phone becomes too hot.

power surge and over charge are totally different things. over charge protection would not prevent a power surge.
Most probably just a defective unit.
I left my HTC Sensation charging overnight once, and somehow there was an app running continuously and when I woke up the phone was scalding hot to touch. I freaked out and pulled the battery and let the whole thing cool before I booted it up again. Might not be relevant but just goes to show that our phones can take more heat than we think.

Hey guys,
I live in the uk and went to Bulgaria for 16 days. I left my S3 home and took an older phone with me. Didn't want my samsung stolen, etc.
So, before I left the house I charged the phone up and left it in airplane mode.
I got back more than 2 weeks later to find the phone still on in standby mode with 48% of battery left. Meaning that it could go for about 34 days in airplane mode with one charge.
I know we can't do much with this info but I felt the need to share it.

That's awesome. My sgs2 can only make it for about a week in airplane mode, with a 2100mah extended battery.
Are you using the stock ROM? Looks like touchwiz icons from the screenshot you posted.

So in order to get great battery life all we need to do is never turn the screen on and never use it as an actual phone, great find!
I bought my s3 from cex (a popular exchange chain here in UK) and when I got the phone it was at 8% charge with 34 days of standby. The phone was left on, without sim card inserted, but with WiFi on, even if wasn't connected to any network. I thought it was pretty cool as the same happened with a one x I bought two weeks before, always from cex, and in the same condition the HTC was on 8 days standby time when it discharged completely in my hand

Nice!!!
Actually there is a point to this...
I think that this is a very interesting post. Why?
Because I suspect that for most people, there are times of the week when they don't actually use the phone or even need it available to take calls but (like me) don't want to have to turn it off at night and turn it on again in the morning.
So, using a tool like Llama, you can set your phone automatically to put itself into Airplane mode at night and to reconnect in the morning - so extending your stand-by time.
(Note: I actually go further than this - and put mobile data on only 3 minutes every 30 when screen is off. And I get great battery time - or would do if I didn't use the screen so much!!)

With every electronic gadget using Lithium-ion batteries nowadays, it doesn't really matter how/when you charge it.
Some would argue to make sure to allow a full discharge from a full charge from a battery calibration point of view, so the battery meter is more accurate. It wouldn't affect the health of the battery itself either way.
Things like memory effect doesn't apply to lithium-ion. How often you charge it and how much you charge it (full or partial charge etc.) doesn't affect it much either. The only 2 things that can potential kill a lithium-ion is high temperature and letting it discharge far too low to the point that it cannot be charged up again. Note that all electronic devices will power off way before it even reaches this threshold.

Sounds like it may be a corrupt download. Unless you plan to remain on the stock ROM just unlock/root it and then install what ever ROM you like.

Yes charging time has been drastically reduced on the HTC One after the 4.2.2 update.
My Galaxy S4 charges up super fast, and one of the big complaints I had with my HTC One was the extremely slow charging time. Looks like HTC took care of that and it charges up just as fast as my S4.
Now if only HTC would fix that damn LED notification light so that it will stay on for more than 5 minutes, the phone would be PERFECT!
Yep much quicker here too.

It's interesting if HTC have made it quicker to charge? Wanted to protect it so they made it take a long while, but now they have decided it was too slow I guess?
So the Qualcomm Quick Charge is possibly enabled now? If so that's brilliant, I always seem to have found the HO pretty slow at charging.
Confirmed ? Hadn't noticed myself as I usually charge it before I go to bed ...

Yes that was the case.
Now we'll have complaining about losing this.
Reducing the charging time by half is great. I normally charge it while going to bed, but some times I need a quick 30-45 min charge in the afternoon if I used it a lot during the day. This would help a lot of people for sure.
The battery life expectancy isn't worrying I guess.
