after installed avast, seems like system hang a bit when restart phone..

guess when new battery drop below 50%, then it will drop very fast??

i tested last night around 11pm , battery remaing 78%, this morning only left 40% ar 10:40am

after installed avast, 10:40am left 40%, left 35% at 10:50am

35% at 10:50am left 30% at 11:08am

After uninstall avast, 11:08am @ 30% , 11:28am left 28% (battery safe more after uninstall AV...

Hmm pondering why last night batt drop so fast? battery temperature always 29-35 degree celcius max,

is it below 50% battery will drop fast? or need calibrate using batter calibrate apps?

Usually battery drain is caused by app behaviour. They are waking your phone up. Install BetterBatteryStats from XDA and see what % of CPU time is spent at each MHz level, and also to see your wakelocks.

Read up on wakelocks, or come over to N2 section there's a writeup on post 6 under wakelocks. Do keep your response here in the s3 mini thread though.

alright, will read and purchase it and download.

when we put our phone in idle mode, its mean that our phone is in deep sleep already? or when in idle mode, the background process like whatsapp, wechat,viber will consume battery eventhough i off my wifi and didn't use it?

and i dont think my brightness which is set to 100% because when in idle mode, it wont consume battery ?

There's a free version on XDA. Properly designed apps will go to sleep and still receive notifications consuming very little battery, but Viber (and others) are not very well behaved so it keeps your phone awake. In idle mode your screen is off right.....

so thats mean eg: viber - although its wake up, its still in idle mode without screen on correct? its just "awake" and we can't see what it do and behave? thats why apps like that will consume battery?

im surprise avast consume lots of battery. with 4" superamoled , 1500mAh battery is just not enough imho.

i'll not online from 23/3 till 5/4 coz i got final examination so if u feel like 'missing' me
u can drop SMS for me...



and happy for SGS3Mini users

Good luck

i found out cool apps - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...mlabs.bbm&hl=en

also, i found out airplane mode is useful , or perhaps i will use airplane mode to test for overnight again see whether my HSPA consume power with or without sim card.

Airplane mode

Putting your phone in airplane or flight mode will turn off you GPRS or LTE signal. This will of course conserve you battery in a big way. The obvious drawback of doing so is that you can not place calls or text while this mode is in effect. If you don’t want to be reached or you are in an area with no phone signal you could turn on airplane mode to save a lot of battery juice. To do so enter settings and press the more settings. At the top of your screen press the Airplane mode. Your phone will now stop trying to connect to the mobile signals.

Hi everyone.

Just had my s3 Mini.

Im basically just in front of the pc during my work day time. it is advisable to just plugged in my phone to the pc so that its 100% full charge the whole day?
