Hey guys, I just had a very strange problem with my S3 today.

For some reason, the battery was going down really really fast even though I wasn't even using it.
I checked the apps that were running, but there was nothing that was running.
Even in the battery stats, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

I left for school at 6am and left my phone in my room fully charged at 100%.

Then around 2.30pm i came home and my phone was left with 28%.

I checked the battery stats at this point but nothing seemed weird.

I rebooted the phone but the battery was still draining at a rate of 1% every 4 minutes.

I'm very sure that I did not leave mobile data, bluetooth, NFC, or wifi on while i was away.

I'm also very sure that i did not leave any apps running in the background.

After getting worried, I decided to turn the phone off and reinsert the battery. This seemed to solve the problem.

This has never happened to me before.

I was just wondering if anyone had experienced this before or has any idea what went wrong 

why my s3 with criskelo v8 rom keep on reboot itself?

Show off some photos pls. 

according to the peeps in xda doing the comparisons.. only in certain situation that the Sony is slightly better than Samsung. Sth like the type of noise introduced.

in daylight, no difference.

good tips.

so is it correct to say in dark/night situations, it's better to disable auto mode ? 

lol I can't even differentiate them =.=
I just now my s3 is using sony sensor while my friend s3 is using samsung sensor

how to check which sensor that our s3 is using?

how to check which sensor that our s3 is using?

“Chipworks has confirmed that the camera has a Sony BSI sensor, and that it’s basically the same unit found in the iPhone 4S,” See it’s always interesting at iFixit.

good tips.

use betterbatterystats to find out whats happening. It's free to download on XDA (XDA members edition)

charge your phone to 99, then unplug it from the usb. then don't touch your phone. just leave it be for 4-8 hours.

Then come back turn on phone and immediately check the betterbatterystats and see what it shows since unplugged in terms of

- wakelocks
- partial wake locks
- cpu state (how long was the deep sleep duration ? and was there lots of cpu usage going on or not ?)

definitely some app is hogging cz it resolved after restart. means sth is hogging. just need to find out which 1
u need to ask in the specific thread in xda.. nobody can help u here cz we are not the dev nor the user.
wrong place bro..

how to check which sensor that our s3 is using?

incorrect.. only switch to manual mode when you cant achieve/get the pictures u intended with Auto Mode for S3.
cz this saves up time if auto mode works well.

the scene mode and stuff are for those who know when and how to use it. read up my tips in my blog if u have time.

S3 has same sensor like in the iphone 4

Based on the current trending, tonight I go home and map out all the features and functions of the S3 camera. Then maybe hold a small gathering to show others the powah of S3 cam.

Anyone can help? My S3 cannot do live streaming of Azdrama & PPS , and try to download Adobe flash player also can't help? Need your advice?

Err..about the app..i'm quite reluction to discuss in the thread. It's not about piracy per se since the app can be download from Google Play market sometimes ago but not available now.

ppl selling approximately RM50 for new earphone. u can find unused earphone (9mm) get the inner part to attached it. damn low cost de & mostly r using korea machine to manufacture it.
