Battery life is atrocious

[loc_luke]

My s3 is starting to look like an iPhone! The battery is absolutely horrible! I'll post some screenshots to show you guys. What should i do? I'm not interested in rooting or flashing. I'm on stock touchwiz 4.4.2. Please help!

What were you doing on the phone during that 1h 34m 8s? Is this a sudden change or has it been gradual?

How long have you had the s3? Maybe it is time to replace the battery???

Hmm. Try this. Worked for me. Will tell you EXACTLY what is keeping your phone awake. Charge to 100% and let this run all day.

For me it was Google+ trying to sync my photos over and over again even though I had sync off. Just a bug that an uninstall and reinstall fixed.

Even though you've only had your phone for 6 months, the battery could be a lot older than that. You can get a new battery on Amazon for around $10. It may be worth it to get one just to see if you do have a battery going bad. If it's not that, then you have a spare backup battery, so its a win win either way.
