I bought a new Galaxy S3 in June and have been having trouble with the battery life. I've viewed numerous threads and websites and have turned off almost all features that are available on the phone. I only use the phone for texting, internet browsing, and occasional app usage, but my battery drains incredibly quickly. Here are a few examples of my problems:
1) Last night I charged the phone to 100% and then turned it off. When I powered it on this morning the battery was at 89%.
2) I haven't used the phone once today it is already at 70% life. This has occurred over the course of 3 hours as it has sat in my desk with no usage.
3) When I use a battery application it gives me a normal reading of my estimated remaining battery life. When fully charged the app estimates that I have about 21 hours of usage left. In actual practice this number is closer to 8 hours.
I have no idea what to do. I bought this to make my life easier but it seems like a big headache now. :'( My last remaining idea is to do a factory reset. Does anyone else have any more advice? I've attached two pictures for assistance.
