Hello,

I want to find out your opinion about my S3's battery status after i've used it for 4h25m and it reached 61%
I had a problem 2 weeks ago when in the morning i saw that my battery was down with 50% in standby, i did some research and using a wakelock application found that my OS was awaken 1200 times keeping it awake 6h during the night by an application installed 2 days before. I uninstalled it and did also a factory reset. After that it was losing only 15% during night with Wi-Fi on. I use auto for brightness.
Now i think that the battery is not as ok as it was. The phone is 1 month old.
I lose 1% at aprox 4minutes of use with Wi-Fi, if i use Mobile Data it will drain faster like 1% at 2 minutes.
Attached you will see the status of the battery and its usage.
Thanks!:)

I agree. 2 1/2 hours of screen time with 40% isn't unreasonable. If you continued the same pattern, you'd get about 5 hours of screen on with 20% left, and that's pretty good for a phone with a big screen.
 
Hello again,

How about now? What's your opinion about the battery drain? I think it's pretty bad for my S3 :)

How about now?
That does leave something to be desired.

What was your screen brightness set to?
You may want to ditch Facebook just to see if it's having a negative impact on your battery life.

Your cellular signal kept drifting - you may want to try GSam Battery Monitor Pro: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm.pro (there's a free version) and look at the Radio Detail screen to get a better idea of what it's really looking like.

I don't know how others are getting 4 or 5h of screen time on with 50% or > of brightness on, maybe just wondering throw the OS :D.
