I bought mine from a shop in Subang Parade - next to an IT shop. Costs me RM2090.00. Free screen protector.

Added on July 17, 2012, 7:51 pmMine on standby 5-6 days for calls and sms. A record for me. Used Task Manager to stop all apps and clear RAM before shutting to standby. I used WiFi for short periods as well as checking gmail.

What don't you know? Just play around the menus and read this forum and you will figure it out.

My S3 status at the moment - charge on battery still at 15% after 131 hours since last charge.

You may not realise it but there are many applications still running in the background and consuming your battery power if you don't shut them off.

Close all applications before you put phone on standby by doing this: Press home button for about 3 secs and under "Remove all" press and remove all opened applications. Then under "Task Manager" clear the RAM by selecting "RAM" and pressing "Clear Memory". Install Juice Defender and set to aggressive mode. Open wifi connections only when you need it. Put phone on GSM mode only, use WCDMA only when you have plenty of cash credit to burn. Check status bar by holding top display and dragging down. You will see the notifications of what is currently active. Close GPS if you don't need it.

Press power button once lightly to put phone on standby and shut off screen. I use mine that way and usually have 5-6 days battery power still left.

Read that it is built into the phone for better location of where you are. Galaxy Nexus also has one.

I usually make calls and SMS during the day. When I go back home I use my wifi and read Flipboard articles and check gmail. Then I shut off my wifi and use Task Manager to close all apps. GPS function is always off. I shut off screen and put phone on standby after that. Most of the functions, like vibration, notifications, I leave on.

Your problem happened with my Galaxy S before. Battery appears to drain too fast. What I did was to let the battery drain till empty and then recharge from zero. I read on another forum that you sometimes need to recalibrate your battery by doing a recharge from zero. Hope that works.

Sounds reasonable...anything that causes the Android OS to repeatedly access in order to read information can drain your battery. Just like if you leave your wifi on, phone repeatedly seeks access points to connect. Some apps repeatedly needs to connect with internet to access information can cause problems too.

Just discovered that I can do a screen capture by putting the edge of my hand on the whole screen and then swiping it vertically across the screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDik7kk1j9I



I guess most of you know already...except me
