Battery going from ~80% to zero

[titans30dude]

no problem man and the cell standby is incorrectly displayed on most everyones gs3 so ignore that...all i can think of is an app one of the other posters posted bc that app will tell u exactly what was running the stock battery thing is pretty vague so u might want to give that a try.

Please let me apologize for getting this thread off on the wrong foot - my sarcasm was uncalled for. Feel free to down-vote or whatever the opposite of 'Thanks' is.
Let's just proceed with the results of GSAM or the other battery tracking application.

Im a new Galaxy s3 user. Having battery drainage isssues. I have restarted the phone 3 times. Most times I see that screen is mostly using battery, I have changed settings to lower brightness. Sometimes it shows Cell standby has high battery drainage, I noticed after not connected to Wi Fi that this happens now. I like the phone I dont like the battery going down so fast. I tried different things I dont want to take the phone back. But I have to plug it during the way to much. My other Droid phone never had this problem. It wasnt a Galaxy. I just want it fixed. Any other suggetions?

Can you post your battery stats? Take a screenshot of the settings>battery screen. Also, if the settings screen doesn't seem helpful, you can try GSam Battery Monitor. It has helped others identify battery drains the settings page didn't identify. (https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ails?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&hl=en&token=tImPHXko)

Get GSam and see what it says. As you can tell from myriad of responses that do not meet you expectations, none of us have the slightest clue beyond what has already been said. Furthermore, while I do not doubt your claim, please understand that even with "light" usage as your claim, most of us cannot get 4-5 days.

After two 80% to 0% drops when I posted this thread, I was fine for about two weeks. Now the problem has returned. Two nights ago I went from ~40% to zero, and just waking up now I've dropped from 80% to 15% in a few hours just as before.

Nothing running that's consuming the CPU.

jamesino - Nice passive aggressive response. Maybe the issue isn't my expectations, but people not even reading my posts or ignoring the information I've already provided, then shifting focus to things like the battery life I normally get with minimal use? I find it funny that within your post you subtly questioned the ability to get 4-5 days of standby time with data off and little phone use otherwise. This thread has been hijacked numerous times and derailed instead of people focusing on the main issue/question at hand.

Inm8num2 is not doing anything wrong you guys just cannot read...if u dont really know the answer dont answer and do not be a politician and deflect what he is asking...he explicitly gave you info yet you tell him to make sure its off qhen he already explained it was off.

The same fcking thing is happening with my phone. This can actually cause damage to our Li-Ion batteries. When i checked the 'awake' part for my phone, it didnt show any bluelines in between, which means that nothing was running in the background during standby, however the 'mobile network signal' was red/orange alternatively to varying ranges/degrees. can you tell me what that signifies? does it mean that the steep drain was cause because of the mobile network signal?

I also had this problem twice after the update so I went to "task manager" and saw google play music running in the background before I sleep consuming 40-70% cpu and 80+ MB of RAM. I would just press "End Task" and the quick battery drain will be gone unless it started itself again. The google play music problem does not happen all the time.
