Thanks
I deleted I few recent apps this morning to see if its gone.The only battery related one was a battery monitor .
Is there anyway to stop the phone lighting up when I get emails etc in the night?
I have it in blocked mode and need the phone at my bedside but it drives me mad.

Not sure about the phone lighting up with e-mails as mine does not do that. If you still get the alerts after removing the apps you can use Notification History to help find what it doing it.

Just turn off your data connection at night if you really only want calls- you can do it through the settings menu or download a data toggle app- this one always worked well for me:

Blocking mode just turns off notifications form apps- data is still sent & received.
Don't worry, not dumb questions at all! I think you are referring to the "sync" toggle on the status bar menu- this disables the ability for apps to automatically transmit/receive data or synchronize with servers (this might be an alternative for you too). I think some ROMs/carrier versions of the S3 do have a data toggle switch in the status bar menu as stock, but mine (Jelly Bean 4.1.1 T-Mobile) does not, which is essentially what the data toggle app does.
Maybe you could try just turning off sync at night- that should eliminate notifications of new emails, tweets etc. but will still allow you to surf the web or use apps if you want to. Turning data off completely will only allow calls and text messages to get through- apps will be completely unable to connect to the internet.
it's simpler to download and install Lightflow from google play.
You can have the charge settings set to not bother you with notifications or enable sleep settings to stop the light, sound and vibrate.
The sleep settings are time-setable so that if you have and use an alarm, it can be set to allow your alarm to still wake you when you want.
It keeps the phone from waking me at night
If you are reading this on a computer, here's a link that will even install the app on your phone for you! Just click on the install when you see the page....

Definitely another option- depends on whether you want to just turn off notifications or actually turn off app data access. You could also use an app like Tasker to toggle data/sync on & off at a certain time of day/certain location.
Lots of ways to git 'er done!
I never have had that issue on mine so I don't know for sure, but under the "Sound" settings, none of the boxes on that menu are checked (i.e. all system sounds turned off, no haptic feedback, etc.), so don't know if that is why. DO some searching on the forums- I know I've seen some other posts about the charging noises.
