Does the S3 have a sleep mode, or night setting?

[TheBigKahuna]

I've looked and can't find anything...but I really want to be able to set the S3 to shut down for a set time at night, so it goes quiet, etc. I could do this on my old LG phone. Surely the S3 has it, I just can't find it?

I really hate waking up and seeing 20% of my freshly charged battery drained overnight! My LG was a battery hog, but would only use about 3-4% of the battery overnight.

I'd rather not use Battery Defender, if I can avoid it.

And I found some older threads where it is established that the S3 does not have a "night mode" built in. I've already purchased Juice Defender Ultimate, so I guess I'll just set it that way.

Blocking mode will stop ringing, notifications etc. I'm not sure how much it prevents the battery draining though. Probably not a lot.

On a rooted phone you have a lot more options but you should just keep the phone plugged in overnight. Most people do and the damage is negledgable :thumbup:

Or you could setup tasker profiles to run on/off whatever you want at set times and locations and a lot more. I'm still learning on how to use it myself

Don't people plug their phones in at night? I've been doing that since my first Motorola flip phone almost 15 years ago.

Go with blocking mode if you're not going to plug in overnight.
