Hello,

I want to find out your opinion about my S3's battery status after i've used it for 4h25m and it reached 61%
I had a problem 2 weeks ago when in the morning i saw that my battery was down with 50% in standby, i did some research and using a wakelock application found that my OS was awaken 1200 times keeping it awake 6h during the night by an application installed 2 days before. I uninstalled it and did also a factory reset. After that it was losing only 15% during night with Wi-Fi on. I use auto for brightness.
Now i think that the battery is not as ok as it was. The phone is 1 month old.
I lose 1% at aprox 4minutes of use with Wi-Fi, if i use Mobile Data it will drain faster like 1% at 2 minutes.
Attached you will see the status of the battery and its usage.
Thanks!:)

I don't think it's that bad. 4.5 hours and you're playing Fifa and it looks like some other game at the bottom I don't recognize.....and you drained 40% (or 2/5 of the battery capacity)

At that rate of usage, you'd get somewhere just north of 11 hours out of it. That's not horrible. Not great, but not that bad. At least IMO.

I agree. 2 1/2 hours of screen time with 40% isn't unreasonable. If you continued the same pattern, you'd get about 5 hours of screen on with 20% left, and that's pretty good for a phone with a big screen.

How about now?
That does leave something to be desired.

What was your screen brightness set to?
You may want to ditch Facebook just to see if it's having a negative impact on your battery life.

Your cellular signal kept drifting - you may want to try GSam Battery Monitor Pro: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm.pro (there's a free version) and look at the Radio Detail screen to get a better idea of what it's really looking like.

I don't know how others are getting 4 or 5h of screen time on with 50% or > of brightness on, maybe just wondering throw the OS :D.
