S III Battery life...

[madlaw1071]

Installed Juice Defender and using their standard settings and battery life is doubled without a huge drop off in connectivity. Simply amazing. Took 2 days to kick in because it learns your phone and usage.

I get 18-23hrs. Of battery life with 1%left. moderate use, GPS, wifi, blue tooth on, screen 33%. I also have an extra battery to swap out.

I am very pleased with my battery life 9 hrs. 57% remaining. Numerous calls, emails, texts. I found a huge difference when I disabled gps except when needed.

With light usage right?

I wish I could get over 11 hours with heavy usage

the battery lasted 7.5hrs and went from 100% to 0% to powering off! THATS With Spotify playing the ENTIRE time, frequenting fb, and a few other apps, all running in the background. I'd say fantastic, (due to being a crackberry user for the past 5yrs!) NOW I need a back up battery! I've purchased ALL my accessories(headphones, cases, screen protectors) and previous phone batteries from Ebay/Amazon with no problems. Has anyone purchased a 2nd back up battery? does it have to be samsung brand? thx!!!

You only need an official battery for nfc. If you don't use that, the eBay batteries should be fine.

I used them on all my phone with no problem

I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised with my battery life so far.

Maybe I am not reading it correctly but the screen shot say almost a day and a half?

My extended battery arrived yesterday! No more weak battery life for me!!!

I was looking into extended batteries for this phone, but i came across people talking about how they could harm your phone and it wouldnt be covered by warranty or something. IS this true? Because i want an extended battery as well,

 

[anon(153966)]

...right. But typically people want to know the screen time, too. Hence I wrote the 'screen time'

 

[nit407]

I am liking mine. Whole days use and it has 20% left! Way better than my s2, which used to last only a couple of hrs...if that!

I honestly have no idea, I've had extended batteries on all my phones, I've never had any issues.

I am very happy with the battery life. It is every bit as good as the 4S.

If you get an after market battery (non samsung) you will lose the NFC / S Beam capability. The NFC chip resides on the battery of the SGSIII IIRC.

I'm using juice defender...it seems to work very well (enough that I will buy the full blown version). Fully charged yesterday morning, went to work, came home, went to sleep, all day at work again - Down to 30%.

I'll charge it tonight. I admit....I am a light user. I make a couple of calls, a few texts, play some games, browse through flipboard, etc.

 

[fireidiot]

Usually I get about 12 hours with moderate usage. In a 4G area. This past weekend I went camping to a remote area and only had Edge (AT&T) service. I charged on Friday night and didn't recharge until Sunday evening. I was utterly shocked. I figured my battery would be worse, but it was the opposite.
