My phone has frozen like 4-5 times since the first day I got it...
Nope.

Mine hasn't frozen, but sometimes have to turn wifi on and off a few times to connect to my router
Possibly found some info on the wifi androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/574442-samsung-galaxy-s3-wifi-problem.html

After 3 full days of use and having loaded and tested about 1.5GB of apps, I've not had a single hiccup.
So far I don't have a single complaint about the S3.

My phone is seamless. Every once in awhile though, XDA seems to be a bit choppy. But nothing else.

Has frozen once or twice, but I think it may have been on Power Save at the time. Have you used that feature at all?
Also, Apex launcher crashes quite a bit. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue or what.

Nothing. Android has an amazing memory management system. If you must close all apps, hold Home, click remove all. Then hold Home, click Task manage, go to ram, and hit clear memory. This is only necessary if an app is rogue and causing battery drain though.

I got this battery life on first day of usage.
Autosync ON (Facebook, Google (Only Gmail), Hotmail, Skype, Tango, WhatsApp, Viber)
Auto Brightness ON (100%)

GPS OFF (Location Settings, Maps & Latitude)
Google Now OFF

NFC OFF
S Beam OFF

Never had this kind of screen usage with 4.1.1 JB.

5h screen time! Pretty good. I guess you're the type who never puts the phone down, I do at most 3h screen time and that's pushing it.
I'm running ELK4 right now, waiting for everything to settle to test battery life, I have a very long day and night tomorrow, perfect time to see how far the battery will go.
very bad for me in 4.1.2
in 8 h ( standby ) :
4.0.4 -------------- 1%
4.1.4 -------------- 3%
4.1.2 -------------- 8%

That's looking normal to me. By the looks of it you have had over an hour of streaming music. So constant data connection and media service use.
I use paranoid android and Franco kernel and here is my usage.
Note I only use light web browsing and medium xda usage
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
music will kill the battery via media server
i would love to use my phone as a music player but since it drains so quickly i've resorted to using my ipod and just left music out of nexus 4 for now.
without music and only internet use, email, texting, some minor games here and there (pinball, super hexagon, some GBA games)
i get at LEAST 20+ hours and about 3 hours screen on time consistently
I didn't actually steam any music it was all stored locally from Spotify but your correct music does seem a killer. Just to be sure I had liquid smooth installed and after a few days applied the kernel. I didn't do a clean install of everything would this have made any difference?

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Hi all, those who are running liquid smooth, could you tell me, if the are profiles (as in CM) presented in this ROM?
Screen on time is the main battery drain, if you've got upwards of 3 hours with a full charge (depends greatly on brightness levels) then you're doing ok.
Im running the same setup (LS + Franco) and have my screen brightness on 100%.
I get between 3 and 3.5 hours of screen on time, which is fine for me.
On stock i was getting 2 hours.
I use the same combo and I my battery drain is fine
Sometimes you need to go through a few full charge cycles to tell the difference
I'll keep you updated as I go... Thanks for your comments

Yeah, good tip. If that doesnt work, go to Maps and disable history and location reporting as well. Might want to disable Wifi and mobile network location under the global location settings as well. This prevents other programs from eating up battery trying to access location when GPS is off. Restart your phone after diasbling any of these, then check battery life

Lol nice. The only complaint that I have about this is that I had to turn off every single location based setting in the phone. I've never had to do that on my previous phones. It never drained like this on my S4 with those settings on.
The root of my complaint is that I can't even get weather updates on my widget because it is all turned off. And I always like to have the weather widget on my main screen. Which single setting can I turn on to get weather updates? I will leave the other ones off.

Power management wakelocks in the kernel is a placeholder for partial wakelocks. Look at the partial wakelock list for details. I had a terrible *backup* partial wakelock that had a start count of 3000 within 8 hrs!!! It was killing my bat. Check yours, it might be that same if its not the location wakelocks acting up again
I know I'm a heavy phone user, but how are people saying they get 9+ hours of constant use, like watching videos, and I'm getting half that from texting, using Hangouts, and a couple social networking apps? My screen uses between 45-50% of that and the rest is apps, primarily the ones I use most.

My wifi always shows it's connected as a solid blue line, but I've been on LTE all day.
Might be a rogue app running in the background or something? I use the Active Apps widget and randomly end programs from time to time while clearing up the RAM as well. Hopefully it's just a rogue app or bad battery?

You're definitely not getting what you should. Look at my stats, a lot of wifi but also not as much held awake time on my phone considering what I have as Battery time. Take a look around there's things you can disable like bloatware that may be holding your phone from sleeping. Also see if you can reconfigure that one app, maybe it updates to often. I don't usually have any app drain more then kernel and the android system.
Or its your battery if you've done all that.

I was having that same problem when first got my phone. I'm pretty sure it was the new themer application it, worked fine until I uninstalled it, then my battery constantly needed to be charged. To originally fix it I backed up and factory reset it then it seemed to be working fine but now that I'm rooted I have been using greenify and it works like a dream. It tells you in better detail what's draining your battery and what wakes it up in your background as it tries to sleep. Now I get about 22 hours with pretty regular usage
With 56 minutes on screen time, I should get close to ten hours... you must have an app that is killing your battery or that uses data alot
