Increase your battery life upto 500% (All android phones) - Galaxy S III General

Required apps :-
1)https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender&hl=en {this is the free version i use juice defender ultimate "paid"}
2)any overclocking app (setcpu,android overclock,etc) {I use Use Rom Tool Boox Pro}
1)After getting the Juice defender set it up for once

Yeah, some kid in living in his parents' basement really found a better battery management system than Google. Bah!! All these apps do is waste more battery life than they save.

A 500% increase in battery life eh, does that mean I can get 25 hours of screen on time with juice defender?

its "upto" 500% and with screen on 15 hrs maybe
with screen off i just drained 9% in 9:45 hrs

1% per hour is a normal drain, I don't think juice defender makes some difference.Overnight my battery usually lose 3-4% in 8-9 hours

You have obviously got an app or process keeping your phone awake. Get better battery stats to find out what the problem is. 35% battery drain over night is not normal neither is 9%, there really is no need for juice defender.

I personally don't believe in such apps. I am running JB stock. My battery lasted for 37hours with internet on and medium usage. I dont really think we would need any battery saving apps specially for S3, which itself uses the battery efficiently.

My s3 drains 2-3% overnight
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Hi,
To the OP, sorry but you're happy with this result???
Something is wrong with your battery drain (or at least not so good like you seem think it), like the others during the night (about 8 hours) I lost 2 or 3 %... it depends of different settings like sync, network, etc... In general the battery drain during the night is about this, but here your battery drain is not really good...
Forgot these kinds of apps, they consume more than they help or at best do nothing...
And please change the title of your thread... it's ridiculous!
Plus your post... it's a bit missing.
Maybe you can do some research about the different battery threads here and in the Q&A section....

Whats your status there? Normal is Discharging. Bad is Not Charging.
Not Charging means, that you have a defect in your USB Port.
Mine takes 8+ hours to lose 1% when phone is asleep
me too take 8 hours or more for 1% battery in standby mode.. test it last night already
How to make this performance?

I had this problem a very long time ago, it sorted it self out. But I use launcher pro and no widgets, have a live wallpaper and magiclocker. I don't use battery savers and my phone can last for two days with calls, sms, and browsing. Also wifi and gps are always on.
Just give it some time, I think the phone needs to calibrate, also in have auto brightness off and set to around 25 %.
I'm on kf3 if that helps to, goodluck

Just saing while reding here, Got my old htc desire HD and its same thing! about 8 hrs to lose 1% if i load it to 100% and screen of 8hrs it lose like 0,5 %
it has sleep mode? 250 mhz.all tasks killed. that is good battery 1230 mAh.
just saying, dont hate.
2 days!? One day is impossible for me....
My phone settings are same as you, but still cannot solve the problem.

Hey keung, did you get any better battery life? I'm experiencing the same issue when wifi is on. At night, if I turn it off, I can get about 1% 1,5% loss per hour, but when wifi is on it's about -1% per 15/30 minutes without any active usage.
I'm thinking it might have to do with the router... But I don't know what else to tweak on the router settings.
Guys this might be able to help, scroll down to the end of post 2 where it says "dirty guide for battery drain"

Thanks NoOne, but already tried most of the points there... and in any other thread about battery life. Not too much luck so far...
you defo have wakelocks mate
iam the same as everyone else about 1% every 8 -10 hours in deep sleep mode sometimes more
i do the following
#use titanium to freeze unwanted apps
#use auto starts to stop tasks starting at boot and other times
#use leo/checkrom v4 with siyah kernel
#use set cpu and set it to smartass v2
#use set cpu to make some profiles like screen off etc
#use set cpu to undervolt by about 50mv each cpu step
#turn off data when notusing it
#make sure apps like facebook only sync when i want them too
#make sure i go offline from facebook chat as it stays awake
#i dont use any widgets
#i use go launcher as my launcher
#pretty turn off all auto syncs like gmail and contacts etc i sync when i want to
of course you may not wan that sort of set up and you may wish to have data on all the time syncing all the time if so then expect more battery drain

looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
This is the solution
All,
I have tried a ton of modem/firmware combinations and I conclue that this has the greatest effect on batter life.
1 - I was on KK5 with KL1 modem then the KI3 modem then the KI4 modem and finally the KH3. Every KK5 and modem gave me terrible battery life. Not even making from 6 am to 7 pm! This is over several dyas of testing
2 - After experimenting with numerous combinations this the my current setup and I am getting a full days use 6 am to 10 pm and still have 40-50% left!
Now have been running this for a week and its verified. My data speeds are awesome (5-8 mb) and connections are rock solid. Here is the setup:
PDA - I9100XWKK2

My impressions about GS3 battery

I have bought GS3 2 days ago from Dubai the GS3 is amazing, this phone is the smoothest android phone I have ever used.
The only problem I have noticed with the battery it never reaches 100% it only reaches 99% when trying to get a full charge
So far I get with this battery nearly 8 hours and 30 mins to 9 hours with heavy usage, my phone is still unrooted so I didn't have a chance to try any juice defending apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I dont think anything is wrong with that....mw galaxy s doesnt reach 100% eighter...i think it has something to do with android protecting battery from overcharging
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
That isn't too impressive. However, you can expect the battery life to improve quite a lot after about 4-5 full charge cycles. Thanks for posting your experience
When I was on stock roms with gs1 I had the same problem with 99% but cm7 and cm9 goes to 100%

Thanks for sharing your experience. Out of all my experience i can tell after few charges you would get a better battery life, up to 15% increase.
guys dont forget,if you need better battery life your first charge cycle should be a complete one without any interruption.
for a full charge cycle do i have to discharge the battery to 0% or just 1-5%

should that be with the phone off as well? i have read that as well.
thanks for sharing. 8.30 hours of heavy use is respectable(if you can define heavy use it will be better though), but i had managed to get that with HOS on heavy use, even less so im confident it should be fine!
So confident i have already pre ordered a second battery as well! haha
I have been using the phone heavily since the past 12 hours which includes constant connection to 3g or wifi networks, app downloads, navigation for about half an hour, half hour of calls, 20+ texts, about an hour of streaming YouTube to my tv using twonky and I'm still at 35%.
And since the device is new so all my friends and colleagues have been checking out its sound, video and camera.
I haven't even been through my first full cycle yet and the results for me are pretty satisfactory so far.
Also it was connected to the car Bluetooth for about 45 mins and I had 15 mins of calls during that time.

Urban legend...
"It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-Ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run your device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in your user's manual."

Guys, the screen on time is the one we really need to see. It's the screen that really impacts the battery life on an amoled phones. Please try to include those in your screen shots.
Take this screen shot I just took from my GN for example. May look like great battery life but what you don't see is that the screen has only been on for 35 mins, so it's nothing at all special.

Report Battery Drain problem/fix here - XXBLFB

My idling battery drain is finally gone. Standby for 2 hours and dropped by 1% .
Finally. What about every one else?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Not on LFB but my idle standby has been 2% over 12 hours from day one .

I weirdly lost only 4% over 12 hours idle, with Wifi on, which usually never happens. It seems much better but I will wait to check if it's not a placebo before I declare certainty.
Firstly anyone experiencing battery drain needs to check what kernel they are using some kernels are better than others for battery life.
1% in 2 hours? How, without sim? Come ooonnn

Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium HD app
On stock kernel, it's safe to say I don't need a custom rom or anything. I upgraded from the original sgs and this phone is so fast that imo there is no real reason to ever need to try a custom rom, unless a working jelly bean comes out. Also, battery life here is much better, probably because of the huge battery and cortex a9 power saving improvements. But lfb has shown a small increase in life I think.

Custom kernels mostly improve the phone for ex. If you want soundquality improvement its worth it to install siyah kernel

In airplane mode? Can you post screen shot to prove this? How much is the cell standby percentage?
The battery drain on idle has been improved, for me, from 2% per hour to 1% per 4 hours with wifi and data on. However, when playing the device with screen on the battery drains faster than the previous rom.

No data, no wifi it's no surprise that it drains so little. Most members here including me gets about 1%-1.5% an hour drain with hspa on. My old HTC gets about 0.2% /hr with hspa on.

Keep the bull**** comments for somewhere else, previous to LFB the same conditions would have drained roughly double to triple and that's what the thread is about.

2% in ~8 hours, seems that they indeed fixed it, it's lower now than the S2 idle, which how it obviously should have been.
Also take into account the fix is either in the modem or in the ROM; I'm still using my own kernel based on old sources.

Now lets see how the battery handles while playing Ingress!
I would be very happy with this if it is typical usage!
If I can actually get anywhere near this I will be very Happy.
Not as good as I was hoping, but still reasonable. That's right around what I've been averaging with my Moto X.
Not good at all.
The wake locks are horrible!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I think that is looking decent, with 13% of the battery used being on 'Cell standby' it is clear that reception was not good during the day. On my nexus 5 when cell reception is good Cell standby barely registers on the list. Max of 5% usually. So would we be looking at 6.5 hours screen time if reception is good? Also no indication that battery saving has been used or not (doesn't look like it is, on the screenshots as the notification/nav bar are not orange). Or what screen brightness set.
Who knows. It is all guessing until more reviews are out.

Yes, same with me. On my Nexus 5 with quite good reception the "mobile standby" is less than 5%.
With that in mind, we will have more than this.
And see those wake-locks, horrible.
Probably some apps, services, or accounts need to be properly setup and configured.
More battery life from that.
And for more extreme, we can use darker theme
So, I am OK with this early report, it's a GOOD BASE!

I'm seeing similar wakelocks on my nexus 5 with the last preview. The one before it had much better battery life, at least for me. I think kitkit has better battery life than lpx19D. so much for improved battery savings in 5.0.

Yeah me too. My N5 was charged fully yesterday morning and it just sat at my house untouched all day, and by the time I went to bed it was at 75%, which is pathetic. That's the last dev preview. On KK, it still would have been at 100%, or at worst 99%. I didn't investigate what was causing it, but that was bone stock without a single app installed. It shouldn't be like that. Hopefully the final version won't have that issue.

Yes it will but it is also very nice to know about what to expect ... this should get just about the same battery life as the note 4 ...give or take 30 minutes

Yeah me too. My N5 was charged fully yesterday morning and it just sat at my house untouched all day, and by the time I went to bed it was at 75%, which is pathetic. That's the last dev preview. On KK, it still would have been at 100%, or at worst 99%. I didn't investigate what was causing it, but that was bone stock without a single app installed. It shouldn't be like that. Hopefully the final version won't have that issue.

I left mine (N5) at home yesterday and only lost 5% in approximately 10hrs on the same preview. Battery for me has either been great or horrible hinging on the signal

I agree but some people take these findings to heart and if the battery doesn't live up to their expectations they have an aneurysm.

battery life

Can anyone with >4 hours sot post screenshots of their battery life? I'm only trending at 3.5 and the only problematic things are Android system and Android os. Already used 250mah after 3 hours off the charger. Google now is turned off and used PDP already but not on system apps
Same here....on snapdrag...
Honestly my battery life is pretty add. Back on the s7 edge during build 4 of the night beta my standby time was incredible. It stayed on 100 percent for 2 hours (although I did use it for about 15 minutes thought the 2 hours) and I expected the same with this phone even though it has a smaller battery. But I can't even squeeze out 11 hours and that's with PDP (disabling all bloat and even bixby and some other small things). I'm considering a factory reset to see if that helps
Um..... My battery life on the s8 plus is the best I've ever had, on any device, with or without a custom rom. The stand by I get is incredible and screen time is always over five hours.
Already got almost 5 hours 40 min SOT and still have 40% battery left.

Nope. I even installed Knox. So I've got 3 different accounts for WhatsApp and viber running simultaneously. Bluetooth and AOD is off. WiFi and NFC always on.

Maybe your mobile reception is poor. I get medium to high reception at almost all the time.

Poor service can affect battery life?

Yes mate! It can kill your battery very fast. I've lost 20% battery in an hour after leaving my phone in a gym locker with very poor reception with my S7 Edge. The worse the signal is, the harder that phone is working to stay connected. As a consequence, you get huge battery drain in areas with poor reception no matter which brand of phone you use.

You're spot on! I'm full of **** and I actually keep my phone switched off to save battery. You are very intelligent person! You caught out a liar like me over the Internet. I'm sure you also know what I'm wearing.

I have to say battery life's been very good. Get almost 6 hours sot everyday. T mobile s8 here.

I also have been getting 6+ hours so since I got mine this past Thursday. Just yesterday I got 7.5 hours sot over a 28 hours off the charger period. It's pretty damn good.
AOD is off. Turned off wifi and Bluetooth scanning.
Don't have bixby setup or enabled.
No disabled apps.
Have the S8+ btw
AOD is the killer - I probably hover around 5-6 hrs SOT with AOD enabled, 6+ hours easily with AOD disabled.
On my second charge I got just over 6 hours. I have the Canadian model which comes with Snapdragon. I have it set to WQHD+, AOD on, 50% brightness, changed a few things in settings, and use Package Disabler Pro to disable things I don't use. Its quite hard for me to drain the battery on this phone compared to the Note 5 I had.
Battery is better than my note 5.
I charged phone two times now every time sot at 5:30 hours with 15% left
