I can't believe just how good this battery is on this phone. Last night I couldn't be bothered putting it on charge, I was too tired. This is not light usage, I've been texting a lot and been on the phone for about 30 minutes, I just made sure I closed applications I didn't need and cleared the RAM a few times. I could probably get longer than this without Wi-Fi and Mobile Data!

here are the following things that will improve battery life
1. mobile data and wifi all off. turn it on only when you use it.
2. dark wallpaper background.
3. turn on powersaving. < let's take his word for it,he said he doesn't use power-saving mode. imagine if he'd use it, he says.
4. 15sec screen timeout.
5. sync off
6. freeze non-essential apps that are running in background.
7. silent mode all the time.
8. brightness set to the really lowest setting that you are comfortable with.
9. turn off all motion
10. turn off s-voice and voice command for apps
11. disable vibrate
12. disable smart stay. this runs @ 1.4ghz everytime it checks.
13 fast dormancy on/off depending on your network
other things you can also do and like the rest can't be seen with screenshot
both of these possible using custom kernels. < don't worry he says he's using stock.
14. underclock and undervolt cpu and gpu. may not be that much but if you have the impulse to brag and crush us with your knowledge then every percent of battery saved is important no matter how minute.
15. force single core
16. sgs3 that has snapdragon instead of intl version. < don't worry he said he's using intl version.
AND LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST:
17. DISABLE AIRPLANE MODE WHEN TAKING SCREENSHOT TO BRAG AND CRUSH US WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE, SO THAT NOBODY WILL NOTICE YOU REALLY ARE USING AIRPLANE MODE ALL THE TIME AND ONLY TURN IT OFF WHEN YOU WANT TO CALL OR TEXT SOMEONE OR RECEIVE CALL AND TEXT FROM EVERYONE.
YOU CAN ALL SEE IT FROM HIS SCREENSHOT MOBILE NETWORK SIGNAL MORE THAN HALF OF IT IS BLANK MEANING NO SIGNAL.
EVEN ON THE LAST PART OF THE MOBILE NETWORK SIGNAL WHERE IT'S STILL BLANK MEANING HE JUST INDEED JUST TURNED OFF AIRPLANE MODE TO TAKE THE SCREENSHOT TO HIDE WHAT HE'S REALLY DOING TO CONFUSE OTHERS.
HE DID MENTION ON HIS TIP THE AIRPLANE MODE, BUT HIS BEING MUM ABOUT AIRPLANE MODE WHEN ASKED BY PEOPLE HOW HE DOES HIS "CRUSHING KNOWLEDGE" OF BATTERY LIFE AND NOT MENTIONING ON ALL HIS POSTS BRAGGING HIS BATTERY LIFE THAT HE'S ALWAYS ON AIRPLANE MODE AND THE FACT HE TURNED OFF AIRPLANE MODE DURING THE SCREENSHOT JUST SHOWS HE'S AN ATTENTION WHORL.
:victory:
http://s8.postimage.org/e8asy2cn9/CRUSHYOUWITHMYKNOWLEDGE.jpg
normal people use phones like that.yeah right, if they do mobile network signal should be green most of the time not full of blanks like that wherein we are crushed by his knowledge.
people buy phones to use them as phones TO HAVE MOBILE NETWORK SIGNAL so that they can be called and messaged also, they don't buy phones so they can brag about on screen time and calling it crushing them with your knowledge at the same time.
if you all want real battery life using a phone as a phone meaning mobile network signal is always green thus no airplane mode,
the real honest results for stock rom international s3 no underclock/undervolt no power-saving
basing on many honest posters feedback is about:
1 day + 1to5hrs on battery
with
on screen time of 4hours30mins to 5hours
with at least 10% battery remaining.
pushing it to 5% battery remaining or even to the point you can already see exclamation point on the battery icon you could reach 6hours+
blah blah blah no Air plane mode either. blah blah blah
see?
yeah right!no airplane mode my az. your screenshot having no mobile network signal almost 100% of the time shows otherwise.
if you didn't use airplane mode in your school where you have bad reception, the phone constantly trying to find network signal will drain its battery more we know it won't last.

come on guys let's just give him a break
1. a thread about battery life showed up, he was the first respondent.
2. he was first respondent because he was very very eager to "crush with his knowledge" any op with battery life topic and claim another victory for him.
3. he sacrificed 4 days and 16hours of his life so he can "crush us all with his knowledge"
4. screen on time is 15%. so 4days16hours or 112 hours, 15percent of that is 16hours. so you buy a phone that you only use not even for a day in a span of 4 days.
omfg we are so crushed by that kind of knowledge.we're not worthy.
where is that phone that i don't use and not scared to have scratches cos i throw it around and not use it for days?
oh found it. under my bed.
my samsung galaxy pro.
be CRUSHED with my amazing KNOWLEDGE of battery already 2days and battery still at 85-90% range.
don't worry, on the 4th day i'll use it for 16hours.
that's how you use a phone,use it only for 16hours in 4 days. teehee

many may not understand what it is with that CRUSH and KNOWLEDGE thingie.

Turn on Airplane mode and leave it on. Tell people to call you on the house phone. Your battery life will improve dramatically.

Wow, 3 hours huh? I'm at least getting 8. I was getting 15 or 20 hours, but then started putting lots of widgets on my screens and that really killlllllllllled it
I usemy phone a lot. I was spoiled by my hero. I was getting days on a single charge with the same usage, if not, more. I wish I knew what's killing it so fast :/ spare prts says the screen is a majority of power consumption, but I usually have brightness on 0 (its plenty bright enough. It seems brighter than my hero at 50% ).

Is the Running time at 100%? If so, check Partial Wake Usage. Click on whatever's at the top of the list and check it's running time. Report back and let us know what you find.
The battery was 88% at 10PM and at 6AM it was same 88%. I enabled battery saving mode and flight mode. Wifi was off. Auto Killer set on when the screen is off and Droidwall enabled for unwanted apps. I think this is good performance of Battery. by the eay, the binary count is 0 (inspite of flashing 6 custom roms). Thanks to Triangle away. The device N7000, Kingdoird V4 and speedmod #3.3.
You may lose this good after install some new app so be careful.

There are times when you can't charge a phone.
Personally - I NEED a phone that can last 24 hours without dying. The closer we can get to that the better.
Draining always depends on usage.But galaxy Note is a good one bro. By average use its battery stands for a whole day.

Just finished my latest raft of battery saving tweaks for my rooted s3 and here are the results.
I consider myself a medium user and managed to get 54 hours off my last charge. Interested to see how other people's experiences match up to mine.

Look at your Awake and Screen on times.
Might as well leave your mobile untouched for 2.5 days.
What matters is screen on time, not how long between charges, if you only use your phone for 5 mins a day you will wait a long time between charges. I can get 4 hours screen time which is decent (That's 4 hours in one day) So in theory if I use my phone for 1 hour a day I should get 4 days usage out of it.
All it shows is you don't use your phone much, show me a screen time of more than 6 hours and I will check out the battery tweak in use (as long as I can still use my phone)
Ok will post my screen on time stats from my next charge, pretty sure it's more than six hours.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What's the point of having these devices if you'll use them like regular phones. I see no apps in your battery details. Obviously you're unlocking your device only for phone calls and swiping between screens and app drawer because of boredom.
Better to get a nokia 3310 and never care about battery again...

i am currently using Null 15.1 with siyah kernel
i used to let my Wifi on the whole time to test it and with screen on + downloads time to time..
Max time :8hrs
Min time : 7hrs.
A bit of background I use my phone for work & spend alot of time away from a power supplier (either a plug socket or my car charger) & was finding my battery was fried within about 4 hours of constant use.
By researching & implementing battery tweaks (which don't affect the performance of my phone) and I've managed to get it up to 8 hours.
I'd be happy to post my battery tweaks for others to use, what I'm interested in is other user's experiences to benchmark against.

The problem is a lot of noobs post junk or badly researched / bench marked stuff .or even exact same battery life posts week after week . We have three identical topics in the first three pages of General as it is .
Hence regular users are cynics after all it is a developers forum not some childish fix my phone look at my quadrant forum .
Well researched logical topics don't get attacked .

Is anyone else get terrible battery life with 3g and data on even on standby? I believe the phone function drains the battery and it lasts only 2 days or so on standby.

Hi Iong. We are talking about a tablet here, not a phone. Tablets should have 1 week standby at least. The battery drain with 3g and phone on is unacceptable. I think the reason is the connection to phone signal which is constant.
Mate 1 day pr 2 day standby is a lot, given the fact you install many program and it constantly connect to tinternet to check for updates notifs etx. You dont have 1 week standby whatsover, forget it. Big tablet big baterry big screen. Ot all goes scaling together

most likely is that one or more of your apps is causing the problem. try a reset and see if the problem goes away. if it does, install apps one by and and check which one is the problem
Use juice defender ultimate in tablet mode. I can go several days idle time and lose almost no battery.

You probably have a battery drain. Try this: charge your battery till 100% before you go to sleep, leave it in standby over night and see how much power you loose. My 9005 goes from 100% to 96% in 9 hours of standby, which is pretty good. If yours loses much more, you probably have an app keeping your phone awake. A first check would be the location tracking settings in Google maps. Switch location report and location history off. They are famous battery drainers.

Wifi. I was pleasantly surprised myself I didn't try heavy screen usage yet, but with normal use including telephone calls, navigation, note taking etc. I get through the day easily without extra charging. A normal day for me lasts from 7:00 till midnight, with 30% battery left at the end of the day.
