On my way Senior Member 507 posts Joined: Nov 2006	Proud owner of a S3 16GB Pebble Blue. =) However, battery life seems a bit let down. left about 30 percent (been using since 9am - max 4 hours of surfing net) after a full charge last night. Any tips on improving the battery life? Thx This post has been edited by jjsia: Aug 5 2012, 03:09 PM

On my way Senior Member 507 posts Joined: Nov 2006	Guys, my s3 battery drainage is really a huge problem. i went to sleep at 100 percent n woke up 8 hours later with 92 percent. 3g wifi gps bluetooth were off n power saving was used. How is this possible? no1 sms or miss called me. led wasnt flashing. call standby was responsible for 70 percent power when i check d battery status. Would appreciate if any owner could give me some explanation? my set is an europe ap set. bought it a week ago.

On my way Senior Member 507 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(Zhao @ Aug 7 2012, 11:45 AM) have you follow my guide ,It works well for me. (5hour + of screen on time with 15hour of 2g data on in a single charge) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « use auto brightness use wifi or 2g data instead of 3G. 3G is power sucking. use dark colour non live wallpaper use manual update for weather widget/fb widget. turn on bluetooth only when needed turn off unnecesary auto sync in apps settings or in account and sync(settings) turn off svoice screen unlock turn off geo-tag (location tag) in certain apps (eg: fb messenger) dont use screen off/on which uses motion/light sensor dont place too much widget on homescreen dont kill task using 3rd party task killer dont use multiple launcher at once not necessary to place too much homescreen if possible as its juice sucking. not necessary to use power saving mode not necessary to use juice defender not necessary to install battery saving application. And try update your firmware with kies since you just bought a new one. It helps. tried that but still kinda bad. Power saver all the way. What i dont get is how is it possible to drain close to 10 percent of battery life in 8 hours of inactivity (sleeping hours)? I off everything. Wifi mobile data sync and power saver was on. This is unacceptable. How to update with Kies as there isnt any update when i click on update software? My is an Ap set from Europe. Thank you.

On my way Senior Member 507 posts Joined: Nov 2006	Guys, how long does your s3 battery last? Is it a firmware problem as I heard samsung will fix it with an update? My samsung can't even last 4 hours with moderate usage (surfing net) with power saving on and low brightness. Please help.

On my way Senior Member 507 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(Eiraku @ Aug 14 2012, 01:15 AM) That's bad jor. Mine does 4+ hours surfing straight with stock battery easy, GPU overclocked and overvolted summore. Power saving confirm off lar. What are you running? Stock standard, the S3 runs a lot of bloat in the background sucking up your battery IMHO. Another thing, I honestly think that all the "same size, extended capacity" batteries in the market are complete bullshiat. Really. If every china company can truly make "same size, extended capacity" batteries, then why is the Sammy 2000mah for the S2 considerably THICKER? You'd think that it would be easier for ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER to make something like that already. Even IF (somehow) they COULD stuff extra cap in, it would be at the expense of durability - so the batteries confirm will die (as in, stop working) faster compared to stock. Plus, an extra 100-200 mah is worth like what, 20-40 minutes? That is, if they EVEN contain extra capacity to begin with. False advertising is WELL KNOWN amongst 3rd party battery makers (Google "batteryboss" and see). Some "2200mah" batteries even contain less power then OEM. If they are cheaper then OEM, then oklah. Bullshiat or not at least they are good value. If not, you're far better off with a second ori Sammy battery. Or one of the fat 4000mah batteries. The fat high cap ones I have no doubt about their extra cap, whether or not the "advertised" capacity is correct is another story altogether. Hi, I am using stock battery with stock standard. mind to tell me what to uninstall for s3? my is an ap set from Europe.
