I've only had my GS3 for a short while. The battery life was ok the first couple of days. But now my phone battery has died for 3 straight nights! Each time I want to bed with 100% charge and when I woke up in the morning, the battery was completely dead and the phone was off. After powering on, I notice that the cell-standby takes up the highest usage.
Network: AT&T
Apps: apps installed on my phone - Angry Birds, Chrome, Facebook, Google Finance, Flashlight, Gmail, Google Maps, Tango, Unit Converter, Juice Defender, Visual Voicemail and Whatsapp. None of these should have been running overnight except the push Gmail (only one account and I get very few emails). I am not using the default email app as I don't have a need for it.
OTA: Latest OTA update already installed.
I installed the free version of Juice Defender and it seem to help for a day, but then it was useless. I tried, balanced, aggressive and other settings, but nothing helped. Do I have a bad phone? Is the OTA the culprit? Is the constant pinging of cell tower at night the issue here? This is mighty frustrating.
Any help to get this resolved is much appreciated.
TIA!
