Hi All, this is my first post. I recently purchased an S3 on VZW (coming from 5 years of various Blackberrys). I have been impressed with the phone, and have been enjoying it ... except for battery life. Yesterday I installed juice defender, and as of today, it seemed like the battery life got a lot better! I used it on an off from 7AM until around 3 pm, and had only used about 17%!. At 3PM I became more confident that the battery life was getting better. I listened to Spotify, used internet and FB for a while ... still pretty decent battery life. At about 5:30 I decided to install Juice defender Ultimate ... I figured it could only get better from here. My battery life is now 21% and its 8:40PM, and its been on WIFI for the last few hrs with minimal use.
I noticed that my WIFI is constantly downloading, then it looks like it has a tiny upload, and then the cycle starts all over. Its like the wifi radio is constantly being used. I don't remember this having this behavior before JD ultimate. I have since uninstalled both, and it hasn't really done anything different. I have reset my router and access point as was mentioned in another thread. I tried the 5GHZ radio of my router (dual band) that didn't work either. I unplugged my cable modem from the router to basically terminate the data available on the line. Strangely enough, the upload and download indicators switched. So the upload stayed on more than the download.
Any ideas???
