He is with satan!

LOOL am sorry was sleeping, yes my battery was full but that because I took that screenshot after I plugged my phone and charged from 1 to 100 straight but the previous cycle stats was still ther..
Try it yourself, charge your phone and before taking it off the charger you will still have thae last cycle details and graph in usage..
And if you look at the screenshot, it clearly says "Battery used by the display and backlight" .....

I was amazed by my battery because I watched two movies and surfed xda and websites also!
If only I can get rid of those "suspend" and "events0" I would be a happy camper

Actual phone usage is pretty low though, I've gone as high as 7 days w/ just SMS and a few calls and wifi usage of less than 1hr.

How do you get your Android OS to be so low. My note is always around 25% to 30%. Do you think I have something running that's draining my battery? I do know that I'm not getting anywhere near the battery life you guys are saying you are getting.

he could have disabled all animations, force-closed processes, etc.
I have bluetooth running eight hours a day, streaming music for four to five of those to it, at least three to four hours of reading massive PDFs (textbooks), ppts, and word documents, WIFI on whenever available, etc.
I've gotten 10-13 hours without too many issues. The 10 was with a LOT of screen time, wifi or data running always, and bluetooth running always.
It also depends how you charge your battery. I make sure to fully charge my battery, and then run it into the GROUND (eg note powers off completely) before I plug it back in. Every time. You get maximum capacity that way, there's a name for this, but I can't remember what.
Anyway, battery 101. Kill processes, disable unneccesary services, use WIFI when you have it, disable everything you don't need, disable sync if you want/need to, disable gps, animations, and especially use minimal screentime. I don't see why the note wouldn't pull at least 36 hours if it was left in airplane mode the whole time.

Actually I was just watching movies and listening through bluetooth, thats why I don't have other processes eating my battery but I didn't do anything special..just straight 6 hours of watching movies using mobo player..
But I noticed that using mobile data to surf the net would drain my battery faster, so try to use wifi whenever available..
Everything about my setup is stock, only de-odexed to manually install my language..
Also noticed that when my phone left idleing, there will be Android OS drain in my battery usage, wigh "suspend" and "events0" showing in BetterBatteryStats but I still didn't figure out how to solve that..

Dear ics users!

I've been pondering over whether or not to upgrade to ICS now as the german version is released. My question is whether or not the battery life is similar to what you get with gingerbread. I've attached an image of what i get on a normal day, when i am at work and use my phone normally and not when i am sitting at home and never let my phone hit deep sleep!
Sure you get a lot of added features but battery life is what i really care about at i need to go sometimes two days without charge.

Got around 74 pct after 9 hrs of extreme light usage.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

How does it compare to ICS hour by hour? any difference would you say?

I would skip this Samsung release of ICS. Samsung's interpretation of ICS is not terribly different then GB unless you run a different launcher. I thought battery life was worse on the German release. With the added risk of bricking a few have experienced, don't do it.
If you want try the ICS, go with this one;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854
With this one, you can easily and safely role back to GB from a nandroid backup. This one does not have Touchwiz and the SPen is not fully functional as it is in TW.

I find battery better on GB personally but not by much when u compare it to the silky smooth quickness of ICS

It's a shame because i really wanted to put ICS on but if my battery is going to die out in a day, will be pointless to have. Thanks for the advice people!

I'm getting about the same, maybe slightly better its hard to judge, yup never use your phone the same each day

For me so far samsungs 's ICS has not even been close to the battery life I got on Stunner. I'm a little disappointed but not enough to go back to ASOP or GB. Oddly enough I love TW with ICS Elements fused in.

Thats not actually too bad! I reckon i'll give ICS a go and see how it sets in and then take it from they!

It looks like it drops pretty quickly even when your screen isn't on. Are you sure you don't have wakelock problems? I think your battery life could be better, even without ICS.

Well i've just downloaded the app, xda edition ofcourse, lets what happens but judging from my deep sleep time, doesn't seem like i have a wakelock issue.
Any settings i need to change in the application or leave it to run its magic?

My battery life is noticably worse in ICS. I'm getting a lot of odd wakelocks that I never saw in GB.

This is my phone . You decide.

Well, if wakelocks aren't the problem.. Then I don't know.. ICS battery life seems better in general, but GB shouldn't be that different (and wasn't for me me I used it). Not that your battery life is bad or anything, but it could be better. Like I said, your phone in deep sleep should hardly use battery at all.

Well looks like I will have to test it out and see the outcome, looks like I shouldn't get my hopes up.

New International S3 - Getting Started

Hi,
I now have a Galaxy S3. Long story short, my Transformer Pad Infinity was awesome but was falling apart due to the quality control of ASUS. And coming from that forum to this one, its a huge difference and this is obviously way more popular. Now I have a few questions regarding my Galaxy S3 which is awesome so far btw. I have had a look around the forums and these are the questions that I have thought of plus a few of my own.
#1. Battery life: Its only had 3 charges but I haven't gone right down to about 0 yet. Is it the same as my tablet and will require a few charge cycles before I get my full charge capacity or am I expecting to much coming from a wi-fi only device?
#2. I just saw this grey notification bar thing today and how it is supposed to reduce screen burn on the screen. I am not worried about it changing to black but is the screen burn going to actually get that bad. I am planning on keeping this phone for probably about 2 years depending on money but I would like to think I am safe from the screen becoming ****.
#3. Is there a way to basically eliminate touchwizz without rooting or unlocking. I mean like replace the settings and launcher and lockscreen. I did root and unlock my Transformer Infinity too soon and that caused me to run into trouble with warranty so I would like to hang on a bit before I unlock this device to run some awesome ROMs.
#4. Any real tips or tricks or must haves for the S3 that I should have?
I think I had more questions which I may ask later but this is what came to my head at the moment.
Thanks,
Andrew

Oh yes, that other problem is that most of my apps seem to be going off the network time which is wrong. 13 hours wring in facy and not my phone time. Any ideas for that one?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

#1: I think so. The battery should become more stable and give you full battery life after a couple drain/charge cycles.
#2: I had my captivate for well over a year and never saw any "screen burn". It can be an issue but I think you'll be safe for the time you have your phone. 2 years shouldn't be a problem at all.
#3: You can change the launcher.. there are some that don't require root.
#4: Take advantage of the NFC and maybe check out S3's exclusive accessories. Not really a must have but the dongle is nothing short of awesome!
..Congrats! And wrong section btw. This belongs in q&a
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app

Thanks for the feedback and sorry, I think this would have been a general topic in the Infinity thread, used to the old ways. As for some of the acsessories the international one doesn't get the tectiles unfortunately but I believe they might just be NFC stickers available almost anywhere.

A thought on the network time issue, have you change the time zone to be the timezone for Eastern Standard time? That might fix the issue. If not you should be able to turn the network time off in the settings (under date and time), I have to do this because Vodafone don't send me the time.

Yes that was my issue, thanks

The battery you need to let it gone down to zero and full charge a few times before you can get max power.

A long time myth for me which i have always been unsure about is is it OK to let it charge overnight. I have heard heat is what kills these batteries and heat is produced during charging. I think everyone does it but would just like to be sure.

And you haven't seen much of decrease in battery life? Also just ran the screen through a colour test and I notice on black it shows up as having darker blotches only visible in low light but would this be a sign of something to come? And the last niggle i hope to fix us the slowish WiFi. Pretty sire my infinity was quicker and it had more pixels to render for. Other than that, loving the phone.
P.S. turns out dark spots are common on AMOLED

[TIP] S3 works with other samsung batteries

So today I saw my brothers cellphone laying around the house and started to play with it (It's a ****ty old Samsung). Then the battery in MY cellphone died and I wanted to change the music using the Sonos app.
So I thought 'Hey, this is a Samsung as well, maybe I can use his battery?'.
I tried it and it worked (even though his battery is a lot smaller and only has 800 mAh).
I was able to change the music so I was a happy man!
Now, this may not be particularly useful or worldshocking but I though it was kinda cool and it could come in handy, as was the case with me!
See pictures below.
Edit: xda app is acting funky, will upload pictures later!

No tips from my side. Same settings as manufacturer
No tips and tricks from my side. Its 5:33pm now I'm up since 6:45am ( phone not on charger) 56%.
