Please help, does this seems like normal battery life? I am completely stock

12 hours off the charger, 7% left. 2 hours of talk time, 1.5 hours of screen time. This includes roughly getting 75 emails and sending/receiving roughly 500 texts?

Forgot to mention BT is on all the time, wifi off, screen on auto and syncing 1 email account

Seems a bit low, no? Any help would be appreciated.

Ehhh bout average. It'll get better with time

Does anyone else's battery drop to 98% almost immediately after unplugging from the charger?

Most times. I usually turn off after I hit 100% it usually charges for a few more minutes this way and lasts on 100 longer.

Yep, except for today. Today it took about 25 minutes to get to 99%. Almost had a heart attack cuz I installed CWM touch last night before going to sleep so I thought something happened to the phone, but started draining normally after that.

So far the battery seems pretty good. Topped it off to 100 when it got here then used it a ton the next few hours. I had 5hr 30 mins of uptime with 2hr 15 mins of screen time and still had about 55% left before plugging it in over night

I am getting the best battery life with the stock rom. Last all day easy with moderate to heavy use. Plus I ordered the 2 qcell batteries off amazon so I never run out of battery. Always have one at home charging and carry the other 2 with me.

i was getting pretty crappy battery life (12 hours with moderate use) until I changed my MS Exchange email account from push to 15 minutes. Now my phone will last about 18 hours which is enough for me.

I'd rather keep the email syncing automatically like I did with my old WP7 phone but this will have to do.

Not sure if I got a bad battery or if this is normal. I'm completely stock, what you think?

Pretty normal. Anything above 3 hours screen time is good in my book.

I average 3.5 hours on screen and about 18 overall.... that or 30 hours with 1.5 screen use. It depends on what day it is and if I'm bored and sitting on my phone or out being social and hardly using my phone.

Was able to use pandora for about 11 hours straight while doing deliveries today. Still had about 15% left when I got home.

Here's mine. I had a few issues with the first GS3 I bought, including battery life, so I returned it. The replacement has great battery life, not to mention the other issues I had (wifi disconnecting, buzzing in headphones) are gone.

    Yep see a few posts up for some details on my setup. Only one gmail account syncing, black wallpaper, Google now disabled, 25% brightness. And my screen on time is XDA, browsing, messaging, and other activity that's pretty easy on the battery (ie no gaming or movies).

    No that's stright thru a full charged.... sorry I didn;t provide the other one... hater lol

    Cool story bro :rolleyes:

    Not a hater... just know how to read battery stats. You must have the only battery in the world that gets more juice from being used vs every other battery that drains as it's used. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Nice try vajayjay :D
