Can someone plz tell me if that's normal

Completely normal. Looks exactly how mine (and my other 4 Galaxy S2's) battery consumption looked.
There's threads open regarding battery issues already pal
You had your screen on for most of that 7-8 hour period, and the phone was awake, doing something. This is totally normal.
How come some say their battery lasts 15 - 20 hours and mine bearly 8 ?
Does yours always hit on the back like mine does ?

Becuase your phone was in use for a lot of that time.
Normally I get 7-10 hours battery life with my semi-heavy usage.
But yesterday I tested to see if I could get more, I only used the phone for four 5 minute phone calls, tonnes of texts, a little bit of web browsing and a little bit of youtube on 3G and wifi. No games or anything, and the battery still had 40% left after 20 1/2 hours.
But with my normal usage as i said, I get 7 - 10 hours.

Do a factory reset and see if the problem persists.

wow that is exactly what I am doing now too
was charging twice a day for a week and finally got tired. limited my heavy-graphics gaming from 2-3 hours a day to half hour, now 16 and a half hours past charge, I have 5% left and I am starting to think "how the heck do I discharge to 1% quicker so I have time to charge before I leave work tonight"
I have gmail and exchange in push autosync, plus 2 screens of widgets that refresh (weather, news, calendar and mail), 15 minutes of calls, some texts, news reading, picture taking and viewing. Screen was on for 3 hours in this 16.5 hour period.

Unless you are chilling around all day a foot away from a fireplace, this is not normal. It means something is constantly running on the phone and is using the CPU heavily. If you screen is on, it also heats up. Lower screen brightness if you have the screen on for long periods of time.
and if it is rogue apps running in the background, eating CPU cycles - do a factory reset as someone already suggested, and then set up your phone anew, carefully avoiding CRAPWARE and BLOATWARE services and apps.
Started with a fresh load this morning at 5.30 am, working continously with my SGSII, downloaded apps etc., twice clearing with android booster still half batt left when typing this.....
Brilliant, isn't it ?
My HD2 would not make THAT.

this is very nice.
How long was the display on during this time?
can you post the screengrab of that discharge graph page?

looks pretty normal, but you should post your screen-on time to give a better idea to tell your usage for sure. 3-4 hours of screen time and that's normal.
Hey guys,
Just bought a GS3, battery life for me is definitely better than the HTC One X (maybe not all of you, but it's my personal preference) , just wondering what screen on time people get with and without the Power Saving Mode?
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
3h 40min.
I like Dead Trigger.
I got a second original battery and since then I never run out of battery. Remember the S3 has a replaceable battery!

5-6 hours with power saving. Since I don't really game I leave it on all the time. Even then the phone is still beat mode. God I love it.

About 10 hours without power saving but wifi on all the time with the mobile signal on too(mobile data off)

it takes around 10 hrs without power saving and watching videos, data on also and still manage to get 15%
10 hours screen on time? Right... I get 15

I can get 12h screen time, playing simple game over wifi or watching movie at minimum brightness =) about 8.7% per hour..energy saving on. a little UV and UC. What makes me wonder is how to get over 7 hours browsing, seems impossible...

Agree, its the brightness that kills the battery!
Yes, full brightness and at least 35% juice less....dark background helps a lot actually to keep more juice.
Hello
Long time Hero user who switched to blackberry and now back to android. I've had note 2 for 3 months now and I'm actually disappointed from its battery level. Not that its not enough. .it just didnt live up to its expectations
Through constant whatsapp messaging only (today) 40% drained in 7-8 hours. . I know its a long time but shouldn't it last longer or is 3g that much of a battery usage?
Also does charging with a 2a non official charger might affect my battery? And with the time frames I have available for charging I can never get a full charge. .does that matter?
And is pile stocking on applications and games affecting my battery? Even if they are not open? (Currently using go power master for that)

Show some screen shots of the battery graph. I was just wondering what was your screen time to get a better idea.

You can click on that little chart to see a more detailed view of your battery consumption. Your battery life is a bit on the short side (compared to mine at least), Im guessing the screen is the culprit. Do you have brightness all the way down? How much screen time does the phone get?
@Shei77
For me is battery consumption pretty fine. It depends of course what I am doing with the phone through the day. For example yesterday after whole day "playing" with phone from time to time I had around 70%. I am chargin it when I go to sleep because still if I have in the morning 30-50% it wont make it through day when I dont have option to charge it. Just to add, I have Wifi and GPS always on.
If constant messaging for 7-8 hours means the screen being on for 7ish hours, you have ridiculously good battery life at 40 percent..

Nah.. its sending a message every 4-5 minutes average..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I'd say your battery life is fine, im guessing maybe even better than mine. Im doing 6h 37m right now with 69% left, H+/3G always on, with moderate screen time and a bit of gaming.
Huh..what about charging?
Also any tips for extending? Ram keeps filling up after some time..is it cause I have a lot of applications?

As shown from your screenshot your phone signals are really bad. That might be contributing to the drain of the battery.
I think your battery life is fine :good: Usually with my note 2 i can do 4 display hours and 1 day or more of battery life. 3g/h+ always on, lumi 50% all sync on, calls, gaming and web.
This is the current on screen which is a few hours after the first screenshots
What can I do about signals? And if I have a lot of apps do they consume battery through background?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Really, your battery life isn't that bad. The 7 or so screen time hours you'll get if that continues, is pretty good!
And to your other questions, charger type doesn't affect battery performance. Charging time should take around 2,5 hours from 0 to 100, if you're far away from that, the charger might be at fault.

Charging usually takes 3 hours for a full charge and according to my charging current its using 1698mah

I updated it just a couple of days ago I need an expert opinion on how good my battery's time is.
^No offence, but without screen on time a battery stats is just meaningless!
So kindly post your 'Screen on' time.
@shei77: You're on H+ and you're having almost three hours screen on time, with 60 odd percent left. That is very good battery life.
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
Maybe a bit OT, but what I have noticed is that when the phone reports fully charged, Elixir widget still displays 1600mA being charged into the device? Also, when the battery is full at 100%, the phone is still pretty warm! I don;t remember my HTC did that? It was warm, but when it reached 100% it cooled down and was not hot anymore... I tend to keep phone in charger in the evening because I use wifi hotspot....
My battery life is awesome I'm on cm 10.1 rom with uneak kernel, cm 10.1 is smooth and great performance and great on battery life,
I have attached a screen shot of battery stats...

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.

Sorry, probably I was not helpful. Just saying I am running an SG3 on CM and that is exactly what my battery usage looks like, I hope you get it fixed an d I hope it is not indicative of the SGN3 that I'm getting my hands on tomorrow. Cheers.
Not to rub it in, just to show you that a good battery life ís in fact possible: on 4G/LTE the battery power went from 100% to 98% in 2,5 hrs.

For the past few days I've been noticing that the battery is draining terribly fast, a quick check in the battery details page revealed that my wifi is being used throughout the time my phone is on, even though the wifi is off in settings and quick songs notification panel. How's that possible?. Is it some app which is using the wifi?. But can the app use the wifi which is off? . My S4 is a GT-I9500 model running 4.4.2

WIFI is always ON in your example, but it is not the issue you are looking for.
You have to find what application ( or wakelock) is running in background when your graph is in AWAKE state.
Drain? What drain? There is absolutely no drain visible on the screenshot. Your screen uses power. That's normal for a screen to do.
Smart Stay and adaptive (screen mode) drains battery a lot so you should consider disabling it.
I've turned off adaptive display, ill check if it will improve the battery life. Thank you

As u can see from this graph, my phones charge came from 95 to 15% in just 7 hours, with hardly any usage. Is this issue hardware related, could a faulty battery be the culprit. My phone is just 3 months old and still under warranty, should i consider replacing it.
