Is my battery good, decent, or bad?

[pinkcamaro17]

I was wondering if my battery is good, decent or bad? I ask because I feel like I'm constantly charging it all the time. Maybe it seems like it because I'm on it too much but I didn't know if this was average or not.

This appears to be worse than normal...

Yeah, that doesn't look too good.

Damn. Should I call att? Would it be the battery or the phone?

Also would this be under warranty?

I would assume you would be able to. How long have you had the phone?

Has it consistently been like this or just this most recent time?

Looks like Chrome is sucking your battery dry. Why don't you try disabling or uninstalling Chrome for a while and see if that helps?

Your cell standby is also kinda high, are you having signal issues? That can cause major battery drain as well.

what's your screen time?

You can only get up to 4 and usually closer to 3 hours of actual usage

Yeah, I'm sitting at 2% going at 25 hours with 4.5 hours screen time. So to be that low with that short amount of time is insane.

It's been consistent it seems. I love the phone though so I'm hoping a battery swap would do the trick.

I will try that but last night I recently started using Chrome and the battery is still rather drained. I go between 2 and 4 bars of signal strength in 4G not 4G lte.

I'm not sure what it was then but I can do another screen shot when I'm at about 5%. I fell asleep at about 6am with 60% and now at 9am I'm down to 24%.

I know. Ugh I love this phone so hopefully a battery swap is all that's needed.

Here's at 24% just in case I forget when I get lower. I've been meaning to post sooner but every time I get low I plug it in then think about posting later.

Yowza... I've had my phone for about 3 weeks and the first thing I did was to do the calibration process mentioned here: Calibrate Android Phone/Tablet Battery and Achieve Longer Battery Life I also installed Juice Defender and when I have some light days of use, I often get almost 2 days on a single charge. Right now the charge has lasted 22 hrs 39 m 10s and I have 66% battery. My Chrome burn rate is 4% though my default browser is Dolphin which doesn't even show on the battery setting.

You probably use your phone way more than I do, but I would recommend taking the steps I did and using Juice Defender. And you may have a funky battery too. I'm a noob as well and hope you get it resolved. I love my phone and have been very pleased with it from day one.

there is an obvious solution here. Don't use light flow...

I agree with above post. Light Flow is the probable culprit. Uninstall it and see what happens the following day without it.

 

[pinkcamaro17]

Hopefully that's the case. I will uninstall and see how it does.

Read more on the reviews the further I looked down the reviews the more I seen that it caused battery drains in the s3. Thanks guys I'm hoping this works I don't want to exchange my phone.

I have been noticing a huge drain on my phone in the past several weeks, something different from when I first got this phone. I just turned off Light Flow Lite today, maybe I'll uninstall as well.

I have the Verizon version.
