How many hours does the VZW Galaxy S3 battery last when watching movies on Netfix using 4G network?
(starting with a full battery, screen brightness set to auto, average in-door lighting, 3 or 4 bars of 4G signal)

I have never been able to get more than 4 or 5 hours. Is this normal?

Thanks!


P.S. I do have unlimited data, so I've been doing this quite a bit.(mostly at airports or in hotel rooms)

4 to 5 hours is probably pretty good. I don't really use netflix, but I know when I watch my Slingbox, I tend to drop about 1% every 2 minutes.

It all depends on your signal. You say 3 or 4 bars, but in my experience, a strong 4 bar signal could go an hour more than a weak 3 bar signal.
