Check your Gmail, Sync and other settings like email, weather app etc. If you leave it to check every 1 hour or so then it sucks up battery like mad. For me, all mail sync are manual and I only allow Sync to sync my Google contacts list. As for Playstore, I set to sync on WiFi only. icon_rolleyes.gif

This is the correct reason why it suck your battery. smile.gif

iPhone is the only phone never in my list.

  • No freedom using iPhone
  • Boring interface
  • Troublesome, basic function like bluetooth data also can't.
  • Anything also need that stupid iTunes. Not so portable as you need PC for doing anything.
  • No much control on how you want the apps to function.
  • Small screen, only 3.5 inch, too tiny for browsing experience.
  • Too dumb.

** I am not shoot for purpose, I just tell the truth.

Every point u pointed is true. And the battery runs fast like hell. faster than fast & furious! Bluetooth suck! Guess i'll sell my dumb phone anyway. brows.gif

I don't have any mobile data so i off EVERYTHING that requires internet.
I'm very very sure that my settings are optimum for maximum battery life.
I hardly turn on my wifi, and i turn off wifi when i am not using it.

I suspect that the app that may be sucking up my battery = Beautiful Widgets.
I have the clock+weather widget set up on my homescreen.
I set the update interval to 1HOUR. I didn't think it was the cause since i dont have mobile data.

Now i have tweaked the update interval to manually, gonna try and see if it makes a difference.
Probably gonna have to wait till night time when i go to bed to try it.

Will report back with the results tomorrow  smile.gif

I think it still checking for nothing even you not on the mobile data. (not sure on that).

I never put check every hour for weather, no point on that, that weather display is not that important, it just for fancy eye candy.

Just look out window, you can know current weather. smile.gif

I always put either every 3 - 6 hours, and I disable it if that weather widget I not in use.

weakness of S3 is some issue with QC. otherwise, the phone is damn good.

other issue are software related that can be fixed via updates.

That's exactly what it is doing. All apps has a timeout duration and retry time. So with your data line switched off, it is actually doing more checking that with the data line on as it will keep on retrying a few times. Imagine it doing this every hour, definitely your battery will run flat in no time.
