Help 50 Percent Battery Drain

Hey guys, so when i go to school at 8 and come home at 5 i see a 50 percent battery drain. All i did with my phone was keep it in my pocket for 9 hours. Right now it is at 25 % and it is 8 at night. I am wondering if this is normal battery life for a galaxy s3 with mobile data and internet on. I would just like to somehow reduce the amount of battery it drains at idle. My stats are
Screen 41% 1 hour
AS 16 %
A OS 13%
Idle 8%
Standby 8%

I tried downloading Battery monitors and no apps are constantly decreasing the battery.
 
During a working day, I unplug it at 7 in the morning and when I'm back in the evening, I usually have about 70% left with 1.5 hours of screen time. It's really good, I have to say.

Anyway, have you tried Batter Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector to find out about bad wakelocks waking the device, thus consuming the battery?

Wakelock Detector is free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en
 
Is your battery a stock one as there far better than the gold chinese ones.

Ive got stock battery and am on 50% battery. I took it off full charge at 07.00 and have used it quite a lot throughout the day. My old chinese was really bad. Was lucky if I got 12 hours out of it!

To understand wakelocks, check out the app description mate i just did and its pretty good.
The way i see wakelocks (partial) is when something is making the CPU do things while the screen is off. If you go to phone settings, Battery Use, then tap the graph and it takes you to another graph, below that you can see when the screen was on and when the phone was awake.
the times when the phone was awake while the screen was off are partial wakelocks and they can drain a lot of power :thumbup:
