I posted yesterday but I am hoping to get some more responses. Even when idle overnight my battery would be probably at 10%-20% in the morning. Now it is at 62% after 8 hours of mostly idle time. It would have been lower but I woke up earlier this morning and put it back on to charge. Unless I always leave it plugged in at night I am at a loss what to do now. I just stopped more apps but don't know if that is the problem.
How do you know if it is a battery problem or could be a problem with my phone?
This is my post yesterday to give you more information:
I have had my Samsung Galaxy 3 about 14 mos. Now the battery is at 65% after just 2 hours. I have had problems in the past several months with the phone getting hot so I have done several power saving steps that I found online. I have turned down my screen brightness to almost 0 most of time and to 'time out' after 15 sec. I do regular clearing of the cache and have force stopped many of the apps. I have checked the battery for bulges and the 'spin test' and it seems to still be ok by those standard so I do not know what the problem is. The last few days I had several error messages popping up when I was on the internet: 'The weather widget had stopped working', 'Google app' had stopped, ATT locker has stopped, etc. It was only doing this while connected to the internet. I went by the ATT store to have a Tech look at it. He turned on the 'location' thinking that would help the error messages but I have since turned it off and deleted a few widgets.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do next to keep it from draining my battery? Thanks
