Lol no photo shop or any other bs going on here guys. It's legit. That's the power and beauty of Scotts cleanrom. Amazing battery life. Amazing smoothness and speed. Also, I admitted that I hadn't used my phone much during that time but it by no means sat there not being used at all. Just light use and the power of a great rom. Simple.

Hi

I am from Singapore and I don't understand why the battery life on my S3 is so poor. I have tried switching off WiFi and doing all the normal battery saving steps but there has been no improvement at all. I don't understand why with 89% battery I only am getting 5h battery time. I have a good strong signal most of hte time.

Could someone please tell me what the problem could be?

Thank you

Poor? You've been running on the battery for 5 hours and used only 11% of capacity. At that rate, you could get 40 hours and still have some battery left. Why do you think this is poor?

**sharkaloha** · 01-31-2013, 11:03 PM

It had gone down to 69% in those 5 hours, I charged it again before taking the photo. In total my battery does not last more than 7-8 hours a day. With people getting close to 16 hours usage, I don't understand why mine doesn't last as long.

Mines terrible I have tried everything!!! Any suggestions??? Is my battery/phone defective? Granted, I have been on it A LOT today... but this is how it is most every day. I got it like a week ago. Running stock jellybean.

Hi,

Try this app "".

I have installed this app from playStore. It is incredible. Works great on my Android. It really reduces the battery consumption and also i can kill the unwanted apps running through this app

4 1/2 hours of screen on time is going to eat a lot of battery. There's not much you can do about that other than reduce screen brightness, but a larger battery (and back cover), or carry a spare battery or two.

Also, on the first screen you show, above, click on the battery graph, and post a shot of that. Weak radio reception will eat up the battery, too.

4 hours + of screen on time with this screen is a great battery life.. Definitely not defective.
