Check this out.

47m of screen. On time.

Whats going on with this phone. I tethered my ps3 for about a hr

How strong is your 3g/4g signal mate?

What u mean? U cant read it? I do use custom font. Look at my pic before. I had 6hrs at like 50% now 1hr 67% seems weird

I don't use WiFi, especially public WiFi which is not safe. So I have WiFi turned off on my phone. The constant checking for WiFi availability will drain the battery quickly. This may or may not be your problem, but you should check it.

Hope this helps.

Don't have wifi on. My 4g is always full bars. No lie

The constant checking for WiFi availability will drain the battery quickly.

That is just not true. I leave my WiFi turned on all the time, but only have WiFi access at home. My phone normally has 65%-75% battery remaining after 10 hours at work.

@sugaman1 why not just take a screenshot of the screen instead of taking an actual picture of the phone and posting it?

 

[sugaman1]

sorry I'm still learning how do you take a screenshot? Never mined I googled it and found out how to do that I never new lol... Ok next time I will use that. Now let me ask you something don't you still have to save the img to your computer and upload to here the same as a picture?

Swipe your hand across the screen with that option enabled

i have dropbox enabled so it automatically syncs the pictures/videos i take on my phone to my pc directly.

 

[boosted1993eg]

I use drop box too, didn't look like its using a lot of battery

 

[boosted1993eg]

Merry xmas all

This is my use today which has been pretty steady to what ill normally use the phone like. It seems like its pretty average and not to bad of battery life. That's just fine with me no complaints with the galaxy s3 battery. Thanks to all who chimed in :cheers:

 

[kurtyyyyyy]

You sure do enjoy posting screenshots!

 

[Putty]

I'd say that's "average".

 

[boosted1993eg]

Lol

 

[zanderini]

How do you guys get such good battery life I struggle with getting 8-10 hours sometimes even less

 

[boosted1993eg]

Ive disabled quite a few things in the app manager.

The jelly bean premium suite seems to have really improved my battery life but I don't know why

 

[boosted1993eg]

The whole time I was tethering. My ps3 and playing pandora till 45%

I get about a day on mine and i'm happy compared to my old BB my S3 replaced that the battery only lasted 6-8hrs average.

I use juicedefender (free version) that turns off my data automatically when i'm not using it.

Also at night my phone goes on 'night mode' between 1am-6am so my phone is basically turned off and not consuming any precious battery life.
