Help Samsung GS3 Battery problems

[oneepicboss]

Hey guys ive had my s3 for a week and the battery life if terrible. I already have all the possible configuations to save battey life including some on developer options. it goes down 10-15% an hour and if talked to tmobile and samsung support and they havent been able to help me. the battery is fine with no data and wifi but after playinga game fo 15 minutes i lose 4% and i just cant get a replacement or battery because my mom doesnt want me to complain about my battery but it makes me mad. it only lasts about 8 hours in a little less then 1 hour my battery went from 95 to about 86. and the thing is i barely use it and when im playing a game it keeps on going down 87% 86% 85% 84% 83% 82% 81% 80% 79% and espicially when im lightly using my phone for media it shouldnt lose that much battery

welcome to AF!!!!!!!!!

well when you play games the battery will go down....there is just no way of avoiding this. the more you use the phone the more your battery will go down.

now on that note, you can try some battery saving tips. you can always turn data off when not using it and only turn it on when you do need it. 3g and 4g can be battery hogs.

and by the way i'm gonna move this to the s3 forum as this is a device specific issue. plus you will get better advice from those who have your phone.

and lastly i care

*cares too*
Run the battery down from 100% during a normal day and then take a screenshot of both the graphs in Battery Use in phone settings, take a screenshot and upload it for us.
Justnow it seems like its fine tbh.
What phone did you use before this mate?

This is normal usage for me, maybe not as heavy as some but normal use for me Running Goodness ROM v10.0, juice defender, and SetCPU with screen-off at min 192. Not sure if you are running a custom ROM but running one might give you options on better battery life.
